Asked if they could send me twenty brochures for me to get donations from friends & family then return to them. When I mentioned they had called before and I asked for their tax ID they hung up. Filed a second Federal DO NOT CALL complaint.
I received a call at my residence at 8:40 PM from a male caller who asked to speak to my wife. I asked who was calling and he said the American Diabetes Association. I told him we were on the do not call list, and he corrected me by saying that they were exempt from the DCL because they were an "Non profit". I asked him where he was located, and he said he was in Corpus Cristi, Texas. I told him that it was almost 9 PM on the west coast, and I did not want to be bothered again. As soon as I hung up, I hit *69, and called the number. I got customer service. I told her what had happened, and I told her that since she was a telemarketer, that they were bound by the DCL. I also questioned her firmly about why the caller said he was in Texas. She told me that she was not at liberty to discuss that. I asked her if she would be able to discuss it with the Better Business Bureau or the local media. Once I mentioned Cabarrus County NC, she was reluctant to talk to me further. Once she realized that I knew where she was, she asked for my telephone number. I did not give it to her because I felt like they would keep calling if I did .
Been receiving calls from 1-317-202-1715 (have seen it on caller ID - they never leave a message and so far I have not been home to answer) - ID says Am Diabetes FTI. Since I work for ADA, I am also reporting to them to be sure they are aware of it. This is NOT our normal procedure and how we conduct business. We are a professional organization and handle all calls appropriately.
They call over and over and over. And the number they call is a fax number and still they call. I am glad to know who they "represent" finally, thanks to this site.
