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

Do NOT call other "idiot" please, thank-you in advance FOOL.

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

I have received 5 calls from this number in the last week and they say it is Canada Revenue Agency and that this is a time sensitive issue.  They then say that I owe more money on my taxes and that legal action will be taken if I don't respond to this number quickly.  I would like to know who this really is.

they want your used clothes to re-sell to value village so they get the value of your old stuff.

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.
