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.
The Federal "do-not-call" legislation has allowed most Americans to finally enjoy dinner in peace without being hassled by unwanted phone calls from telemarketers. You may not realize, however, that when Congress passed the do-not-call legislation, they exempted themselves (and all other politicians) as well as nonprofit organizations.
How did Organic Consumers Org get my phone number? I friended them on Facebook because I don't want pesticide in my food anymore, or at least want to know it's in it before I decide what food to buy, ie. corn,
But HOW did in the World did they get my Phone Number, it's nowhere on Facebook, and that the only place I've had anything to do with them? how did they get my phone number?????
They called the first the other day, and now they are calling me every few days and late in the evening, like 7pm
Caller: Organic Consumers Org
Call Type: Non-profit Organization
they caled on my cell (I dont' have a landline) and it says
Cambell California
but their website says Finland MN
so maybe it's a call center that calls from Cambell Ca, a suburb of San Jose, where there are ads for call center jobs, so it's likely they have call centers for hire to do their calling
their calling disturbs me because i am disabled, and need my rest--- can't get it when the phone is calling me all time with telemarketing calls!!!!
Another call from these people. I have a local farm right up my street, I don't need them. I certainly don't need them calling at night looking for money.
Organic.org called me at 7pm while i was sleeping; I have to sleep from 5-9:30p because I work the from 11p-7a so when they call at 7p I am right in the of sleeping & i must have my cell phone on for work. Telemarketing is harrassment.
