Robo calls with no one on the other end, up to 10 times a day, and the regulators don't seem to care.

Called and did not leave message! If this is a proper charity, then they would leave a message and not be so secretative about what they are calling about !!

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.

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

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

Have you ever been to the Salvation army lately? Just like all the other thrift stores they"re OVERPRICED for free donated items.
