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.

Well, I'll be. Not sure what I'll be, but apparently Habitat for Humanity really is hounding folks via phone calls for donations. Like many of the others, I've given in the past. I'm going to try and call them and get on their do not call list. If I can get hold of them, they will be told that any more phone calls and they will never receive another donation from me.
Just got a call today, from these people. Call came in at 8:20 AM. Caller ID said "Anonymous". But, I checked caller ID **after** I had picked up the phone (big mistake). Woman on other end told me she was calling from Habitat for Humanity. I politely requested to be removed from their computerized calling list. We shall see whether that request works, or not! BUT... Here's the kicker... I always thought that telemarketers and/or fund-raising organizations are supposed to NEVER call prior to 9 AM, and also supposed to never call after 9 PM. Am I correct about these hours -- isn't that the law? I mean, if she "really" was calling from HfH, which is supposedly a reputable organization, then wouldn't such a non-profit respect the time-frame of allowable calling hours? Or, is my assumption mistaken?
