Call 793-847-8300 to complain about the Public Interest Communications Company directly and get your name removed from their list. They keep calling us - I say deluge them with calls. Here is my story:
I have been receiving the same aggravating calls. Today I picked up the phone on the second ring and got a recording saying "sorry we missed you." If you want your name taken off the list call us back. When you call back you get a recording asking for your phone number. This made me angry enough to search the companies website that is listed above. The Public Interest Communications Company does not evidently want you to call them. I did a websearch of their locations and found their "real" phone number
and spoke to a woman and told her how aggravating and inefficient their fund raising system is. I also told her I would be complaining to the group that released my information to them - Boston Symphony in the hopes that they will drop them as a contractor. Here is the website if anyone on this board wants to complain to a live human being -

I got called numerous times by this number. I miss the calls, and my machine takes them. They never leave messages. I don't want to call them back. Who is this?
Also received the call to our cell phones this evening (3-30-2007) at approx 8.45pm Central Standard Time - no msg left. No idea who it is. We are also on the DO NOT CALL list. WTF??? Any clues if we can block the number? We know how on our land line, I wonder if we should call our cell phone company because I really don't feel like being bothered by calls from them all the time.
Hrm... well actually here's the update (I hate replying to my own posts, but it needs to be done!)... Hope this info helps.
!! Public Interest Communications Inc. ~~ and their wbsite is http://www.pubintcom.com/ !!
And I'm sure I know why we got the calls --> one of their "clients" is the Metropolitan Opera, and I know we have given to the Opera & are on their mailing lists (which I'm sure we included our phone numbers when giving our info). They were probably trying to get us to donate more or a fundraiser or something.
Check their "clients", it may be an organization you have given to or shown interest in. Shame on us for giving our phone numbers out, we did NOT think they'd give it to a third party. It would also have been nice if they left a msg, tho. :-(
Thanks NRM&JRM...I've been getting those calls as well and have not answered them. We are patrons of the Met Opera so I agree this certainly seems likely!
