Countless calls from Habitat. Averaging a call from them in the neighborhood of 4-5 times a week. Very annoying - After a few calls, I have begun either muting the rings or taking the phone off the hook and let them give their pitch to my dog. Realize they are a charity organization - but I would think that these phone calls are killing them - sure lost any donation from me.
OK: here is the trick. I called their international headquarters at 1-800-habitat. I spoke to a very pleasant operator and she confirmed that 404-418-6855 was in fact one of their marketing contractors. I simply explained that 6-8 robotic phone calls in a week is an invasion of my privacy. "My wife and I have given, often, to Habitat and support your efforts. However, we NEVER donate in response to telephone calls. The next call we get will mean the end of any future donations to Habitat." She took my name, zip code and phone number. She seemed quite reassuring that she would get us removed from their call list.
Same complaint ... several robo-calls ovdr past couple weeks or so. Checked this complaint site and llearned caller was Habitat of Humanity, which has a web site ... www.habitat.org where you can register complaint about calls which I just did.
I want all calls from Habitat to cease. This is a sure way for you people not to get donations. I have stopped donating to Habitat because of these calls. I have 3 different numbers in front of me from you people. It's an invasion of my privacy. I will do everything in my power to block you people. As far as I'm concerned you and your goodwill don't exist.
I didn't believe this was really Habitat (even though it was on my caller id) until I read all these posts. they stopped calling me for awhile but are now at it again, calling every day and never leave a msg. I keep making complaints with do not call registry but I do know charities are okay with them...not with me. thanks to all for information.
I had a call two days ago from these people and then one came in last night quite late. I'm sure they have hired some people who have had the pleasure of getting a home and that's super, but these calls violate the do-not-call list that I am on. They will soon find that NO one with donate to them and I will be one of them.
