I never said it was only us who look for hand outs????? i know theres alot of us out there who do this!!!! if you dont answer your phone when we call you guys then you are put throu as a re dail. if you answer your phone and tell us you dont want us to call you we will remove you from the list!!!! you can tell us off all you want.... its not like we havent heard it before. we are just doin a JOB like everyone else. if you have our number and dont want us to call u again then jus say it!!!!!

called, dead air

I am trying to decide if you are sarcastic or not.... keep doing it this way?  they call and do not leave messages, and many report getting dead air ... this is not the way to get donations ... they are not doing their charity any favours by calling 5 times a day just to harrass people by making them run for a phone and then  no one talks to them

I got a cold call from the CF people in the summer looking for donations .. when I answered the phone, I had a polite person explain what they were doing etc., and I told them to send a truck over ... I emptied my basement and garage of items I had been hanging onto for years .... I would deal with them again simply because they had their name on the display;  talked to me when I answered;  were courteous, and have not called me since then, which I assume means that they realise that they should wait about a year to see if I accumulated more unwanted items.  They also provided their business card when they stopped by with their phone number and web site so I can contact them .... this is how you collect items for a charity ... well done CF :)

So why do half the people say there was no anwser from the other side

They woke me up second Saturday morning, I had my box prepared since 4 weeks ago, they said would drop by to pick it up and now they call me again for the same reason.

I've been on the DO NOT CALL LIST since the first day it was implemented.  How are some of these people still able to call me, are they exempt or what ?
