This is getting crazy getting calls from this number. They call all kinds of times they dont careIm still in bed when they call or im going to bed this got to stop .THEY ARE NERVE BREAKING IDIOTS THAT WONT STOP.How do they get through if your on the no call list that dont make sence.Does that list really work or a joke?.
I was receiving constant, almost daily, phone calls from this number. It comes up as either Unknown or WY. I answered to see who it was and said I was not home, I then came here to this site to see who it was. Finding out that it was charity, I decided to contact them to find out the name of their charity and if they fall under the do-not-call government list.
I spoke to a lady who not very friendly. The company name is Organization Development. They are NOT a non-profit organization, but because they call "on behalf of" various non-profit groups, they do not fall under the Do Not Call list. I looked this up and it is true. However, I don't feel that it's necessary to harass people for charity. call, leave a message, and leave it be. This place calling so often is not helping the charities at all and I will be researching their company to let their beneficiaries know that they are giving them a terrible reputation. I did not ask them to specify their clients by phone, so it is not verified by me that it is actually the Children's Make a Wish Foundation. This company is making money though, I'm sure of that.
It's really sad, and I feel it is necessary for me to not have anything to do with any organization associated with companies that harass the public.
If you're in agreement, please contact your senators and congressmen and file complaints! Also, if I find out which organizations are clients of this company; I will be letting them know what their partners are up too! I would hope you all would as well.
There is a complaint registry on the Do-Not-Call government site if they continue calling after being asked to not call. I will be utilizing this if they call again!
I just called, amazing.....I got the same operator "number 32". I asked what company she was with and she replied "you got a calll because we are a charity".
I said "well that's pretty vague, which charity?" (I had already read your post)
She said "breast cancer" and nothing more.
I said why is it my computer brings up "Childrens Wish".
She said "we are that charity as well" with a lot of pausing and thinking.
So I asked "are you the same people who called me last month giving me choices of how much to donate?"
"um, that was probably us it it was Childrens wish" (it was)
I said "when I received the enevelope I put a letter inside that said I and only I decide how much money I give and to whom I give it. I find it offensive in this economy to have people laying guilt trips on me when I need to survive as well. You know and I know that charities are exempt from the do not call list unless a request is made to that company."
"I'll take you off the list sir"
I responded "you're a fraud, I know it, you know it and the FTC knows it"
