Who are they, they call all the time but I do not answer?

They call u and not leave a message. They want to know if u home or not so they can rob you!

thks for this info.. but how to ask to be removed when there is no one at the other end of the line.. just dead air

Same again, thanks.

yes..just got the alumni donation call as well...U. of Waterloo

While I didn't work at this call center during my studies there I know lots of people who did and I worked at a different call center doing research- not soliciting donations. Just be admit- not rude- that you want off the list. Its not like these students are singling you out. They are just given names and numbers to get through during their shift. Turnover is quite high because it is a crappy job and people make you feel like scum for doing it- but it pays the bills. There aren't many places that will hire for 4months at a time to accommodate co-op. Most don't want to be there. They have to. And it isn't the same kid calling you every time, its just the lucky one who happens to be on shift.Would you really yell and swear at people soliciting donations for cancer? or natural disaster victims? so please don't yell at these students. They can only ask you for money because technically the school is a not-for-profit like a religious institution, a hospital or any other charity.But just hanging up won't stop them. You do need to talk to whoever is on the other end if you want the calls to stop.
