I just called the office of the NRDC. They confirmed that they are presently running a campaign. When I tried to complain about the abusive tactics that were being used, including their ignoring of the National Do-Not-Call list the woman's answer was: "Do you want to make your contribution now over the phone?" I said, did you not hear what I said?" She replied "If you don't want to make a contribution, don't call us," and hung up. I think their behavior should be reported to the Better Business Bureau or some other agency. Perhaps someone else who has been receiving these phone calls can take the next step. These people who claim to be defenders of our environment, are polluters of our private sphere, and their tactics are utterly ruthless.
Charities and debt collectors are allowed to call even if you're on the Do Not Call Registry. That's the FCC law. I get calls from all kinds of charities and they're obnoxious and pushy. I just started getting calls from the NRDC. I was a member of NRDC years ago.
Got a call today 9/9/10 from 323-330-1435, caller id NRDC. when I picked up after several rings, no answer. They're still at it!
Here's their website: http://www.nrdc.org/
Listed as NRDC. Don't know who they are, and didn't feel like talking, so I just turned on my phone and speaker simultaneously and let the feedback noise take care of them.
