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

Yep, it's Waterloo.  They will keep calling you, and calling you, and calling you, until you pick up and say that you do not want to donate.  I was a donor for 15 years, but when they called me in January for the new year campaign right after I wrote a cheque in December, I told them that I was no longer a donor.   They were ok for a year, but recently started calling me again.

Yes, it is from University of Waterloo. She calls me at 8:30pm. I am a 2007 UW grad and my father had donated a little amount of money from 2003 to 2008.

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.

Same again, thanks.

If you no longer want to receive phone calls from UW, pick up the next time and call and say "I do not want to receive calls from UW anymore, take me off your phone list." That's the only way to get them to stop. If someone keeps calling you from UW and you have no affiliation, pick up the phone and tell them that you have never attended or donated to UW so that so they can erase your number from their system.Please keep in mind that these are students calling you. I worked there and can tell you all that the students do not enjoy disturbing people, they are just trying to pay the bills while they're in school.
