This number is the Canadian Diabetes Clothesline pickup.  They are not telemarketers and NOT a scam.   I give to them regularly,

These guys (telemarketers) pretend to be a charity, but in fact are a big business making profits from your used clothing and items.  Everyone involved along the line from the person calling you, to the driver, to the store-front (Value Village) selling your used items makes money.  Say your old jeans sell for $15, only $0.25 goes to charity.  Give to a true charity like the SALVATION ARMY - they only have volunteers and don't inflate prices for the needy.  Value Village is a for-profit-organization from the USA.  The main owners are Tom Ellison, son of the founder Bill Ellison, and Freeman Spogli & Co. a private equity company.

Okay I am all into giving but these people call 3 times a week and after 730pmI will not give to a charity that calls so often, never responds when I answer the phone or never leaves a messageI never give on the phoneI would rather give to my close neighboursThese people are annoyingAndAs someone says either the number calling asks for donations or to say you won a trip: so which is it?Leave us alone

Remember,it cost money for research and it cost money to feed and bed the homeless and the clothsline program is not the cloth people,it is to try and make money from the house hold goods we donate so they can help off set the cost of research.The Sally Ann gives everything they make to the less fortunate and the things we donate to them have to also not only pay for running there store but also to turn a profit to help pay for the cost of there shelter.So people may think that the profits go into some ones pocket when in fact the money goes to help the ones in need.This number(905) 528-1112) is for real.It is hard these days to know who is legit and who is trying to reach deep in your pockets.Here's a clue.If they don't ask for money or card numbers or names or sin numbers and only ask that you leave the cloths outside with a big D on the bag I would say you are pretty safe.One way you can tell it's a scam on the internet is by looking at the grammer or the use of words and ask your self "is this the way I speak or my friends speak".If some one is calling you they may be new to your country but if they are sending you something on line then they should be from your country and if they are pros the paper work they send you should be correct.If not then it's more then likely a scam.

Canadian Diabetes Clothesline calling about any extra clothes that they can come pick up.Don't listen to the above posters complaining about for-profit enterprises, these guys are the real deal doing good things for people. In this case, I recommend you pick it up and listen to what they have to say, and then make your own decision on whether you want to give or not.

Gave to them in past and they phone me all the time.Recently I put a clearly labelled bag out for them the night before for scheduled pickup the next day. Bag sat in clear view from the street for 3 days and not picked up so I am donating to a different charity now.
