I've been getting calls from these 1-661-670-2619 turkeys several times per week and they leave a robot pre-recorded message on my answering service and then do not totally hang up so I get that loud screeching dinging beeping sound from the phone co recorded onto my voice mail recordings !
Totally annoying, and totally ILlegal !
When you call their # you get a truncated recording with the beginning cut off ON PURPOSE.
They are trying to make it look like they identified themselves, but they never do.
I do believe they are Fishing for names to match phone numbers.
Do NOT give them your name or address !
However, I did call them back and left messages on various of their Mail Boxes including some assistant Systems Manager. I did give them my PH # and said they do not need my name to IMMEDIATELY take my PH # off their list. I stated that they are NOT a legitimate charity
or non-profit organization and that they are filling up my answering service memory ILLEGALLY and that if they do not immediately Cease and Desist that I will take Legal action against them.
It just occurred to me that these annoying, ill-timed calls may be by a group seeking to discredit the HRC, the Human Rights Campaign. I recall that in the past some political campaigns have organized annoying phone harassment programs claiming to be their opponent's campaigns. Interesting unscrupulous tactic. Just a thought...
Has been been calling non stop for weeks, identified as "DONOR SERVICES". No wonder charities are hurting..they have dogbert irritating everyone, while destroying the charities reputations which are supposedly being represented
Oh Ho! Finally!
I picked up the phone when this number called me again tonight and the caller ID CID said Donor Services, just on the off chance that maybe SOMEONE would actually be on the other side of the line this time, and there was! After I said, "hello" several times, a woman came on and said she was calling from Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM).
Before she could say anything more, I told her I don't care who she's calling for, how angry I am about the lack of truth on the CID screen, that I NEVER give money to ANY organization that calls ME on the phone, no matter WHO they are. Then I said that had the CID actually said who was calling, meaning PPRM instead of the generic Donor Services, I wouldn't be so angry now. I also said, "In anycase, I can't afford to give any money away, so stop calling me. I've been out of a job for over 2 years and my unemployment checks are gone. I'm currently trying to find money to go back to school to train for a new profession that might, MIGHT have jobs in the near future, but who knows with this terrible economy? Hopefully, someday, I can support all the great NPOs I used to, but not now. So, PLEASE STOP calling me; take me off the caller list forever, because, as I said before, I never give money to anyone who calls me on the phone."
