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 -

It is most definitely the Met Opera. I used to get calls from the 212 area code from them, but every time I'd answer it would hang up immediately. This number does the exact same thing. The only organization that would call me to bug me is the Met.
Just got a call from this number. If it's the Metropolitan Opera, I'm not surprised. I have attended ONE performance my entire life last November and have been BOMBARDED with calls and literature from them ever since. It is unbelievable for what I had previously assumed was a classy operation.
I am getting the same thing, but I only wrote a letter to the Defenders of Wildlife Organization. If you are using a Windows Mobile 5 cell phone, I found a great program to block these annoying numbers, it's called PhoneGate. It will block any number you specify or all numbers except the ones you specify.
