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

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.

yeap~ they got me ...........................................and yes, they got me 1 year dontation...........

Someone called  me  last year  and  I  was not interested  in  donating any money.  She finally  got  me to  agree to  donate   $20.00.  I  figured I  would  ignore  it ,  but got  a  letter  thanking me for  my  future  donation .   I  became  really  angry  and  sent back an email saying I  thought  it  was  disgusting  them asking  for  money, when  they receive  thousands  of  dollars  from foreign  students. I  got a  very gracious  letter  back and they apologizedI am  on Long Term Disability  and I  chose  where to donate    my meagre amount  of  money.  They  just  phoned me tonight  and I  saw the  number  and didn't  a answer.  I  am  going  to  call them back to  take  my name  off the list.

Bunch of c**** need to get real jobs I stop harassing people

This is precisely why anything 519-888-* we let it go to the machine.  If it's someone calling from UW with actual business (as has happened with my wife in the past), they will leave a message.

they called me last night at 9:20 and I have never gone to U of W, I have never donated to U of W and they still managed to call my cell phone, not my landline, my cell phone. I dont know. I just hit ignore
