To those of you defending the employees of this company, this is about the fact that they refuse to remove one's number from their list. Despite repeated requests. And they are telemarketers. Period.
Caller Type: Unknown (they just hung up, a common tactic to verify numbers and know what times of day you're home)
I called them back, got a recording (of course). Selected an option to leave my number (what harm done, they already have it and have verified when I'm home and that it's a valid number) and request to be taken off off their lists.
Because they are involved in fund raising and other NPO's the do not call list does not apply to them (according to their recorded message).
So I left a message to be removed from all their lists, explained that their records are incorrect - no organisation that I am associated with uses their service (I checked) so they needed to update their records accordingly and that I also reported them to my phone company as a harrassing/unwanted call.
Qwest has a *57 feature where you can report such numbers for $1.50, do this 3 times (for the same number) and they will follow up for you. If it's a valid unwanted number they reverse the charge so reporting them is free.
I do this religiously and got rid of 2 debt collectors and 1 telemarketing firm. I urge anyone to contact your phone company to see if they have a similar feature for turning in unwanted callers that have no respect for time of day or subject matter and for one reason or another the do not call list "does not apply" to them.
Just like No Soliciting signs don't apply to anyone knocking at my door I guess.
One call most days, two calls some days, every day for almost a month. There have been other spans of weeks in the past where they have harassed me. My air horn is almost empty from blasting them. I will need a new one soon. Go away and leave me alone! I wouldn't give a dime to your [***] charity if it meant the electric chair! Yeh I know the DNC list doesn't apply to charities (it should though), but isn't Telefund a proprietary company? I'm reporting them anyways. [***] all of you and the horses you rode in on!
