Did what LD suggests on April 3, 2011. Even though when calling the number back it says 'Volume of calls too heavy, try again later ...' I pressed 1 then 3 immediately and then was given an option to enter the 10 digit number to remove from the list. Was then asked to press 1 to confirm and the phone went dead. Hope this is the end of the relentless calls.
I've been receiving calls daily from this number, even on a Sunday. Yes, they are doing their "friends and family" camp.
I gave to them earlier this year and will give to them again when I have them money. The more they bother me, the less chance they will ever get money from me again and they are a good cause.
I did what a previous poster said and called back their number and followed the instructions to have my number removed. They say they have 30 days by federal law to remove the number but they will do everything they can to remove it in the next few days.
So instead of complaining - take action to remove your number.
Now I'm getting calls from this AND OTHER numbers, identified on Caller ID as HABITAT. Usually even if I answer it, there is no response at all, no human, no recorded message. I would like to think that it's a scam and not even Habitat For Humanity, but it sounds to me like it really is them. What a stupid program for a responsible organization to engage in! I am reluctant to enter my phone number, as this just assures them that the number they called is live! If I can't trust them to not harass me this way, why should I trust that they won't use my phone number in some other irritating way? Surely their computer system can read my phone number without me repeating it? I think something else is going on here.
