BTW - Charity Navigator is one place to check an organization. Organic Consumers Association has a 2-star rating on Charity Navigator. Another similar organization, for example, Center for Science in the Public Interest, has a 4-star.
Saw caller id with the following numbers but I refused to answer it because it shows as UNKNOWN. It happened several times this week even no one left messages....and it is getting annoying.
My caller ID says "ORGANICCONSUME" whenever this call comes in, and I think it's a solicitation for donations to the Organic Consumers Association. Although it's a legit organization, *nothing* grills my cheese like repeated hangup calls!
They've been calling me (and hanging up when my voicemail msg kicks in) for the past few weeks, so I went to the Organic Consumers Association website's Contact Us page to ask them to please remove my phone number from their list, as I am unable to make any donations at this time. :-)
Here's hoping they do the right thing and honor my request.
No matter how much I agree with the organization i will not ever donate money to unsolicited telemarketers.It's also hard to be civil when caller is obviously reading a script.
