got a call three times on Aug 30/31, no response on other end of line\I thought when I suscribed to the no callers list, I would be exempt from this type of callWhat gives?

This company is Recycling Matters.  They have be calling me for months an I have told them numerous times to stop calling me.  It stopped about a month ago. Now they they are using a new tactic by hiding behind a charity as an excuse to call people because charities are exempt from the 'do not call list'. Do don't be so naive that they're doing a good job.

As per the Do Not Call List website "Community living Recycling Matters" if it is a Registered Charity (it may not be) is legally able to call. As per below...
The exemptions include telemarketing calls made by, or on behalf of:

   * Canadian registered charities;
   * Political parties, riding associations and candidates; and
   * Newspapers of general circulation for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions.

Telemarketing calls from organizations with whom you have an existing business relationship are also exempt. You are considered to have an existing business relationship with a telemarketer if you:

   * Purchased, leased, or rented a product or service in the last eighteen (18) months from the telemarketer;
   * Have a written contract with the telemarketer for a service that is still in effect or expired within the last eighteen (18) months; and/or
   * Asked a telemarketer about a product or service within the last six (6) months....etc.

" If you do not want to be called by an organization—even if that organization is legally allowed to call you—you can ask to be put on its own do not call list. Every telemarketer based in Canada must maintain such a list and respect your wishes not to be called."

If you would like to take a minute to request that your number be put on their Do Not Call list and to voice your complaint where it "may" matter see below...

This charity is being run very poorly if this is how they operate/manage their own call center employees. Shame on them for not caring about their own reputation.

these bugger are calling us everyday. It is annoying that no one is taking actions

One of the rare #'s when you call back it's actually them.

Clearly, it's a rogue call centre or calling staff that's trying to meet a call quota, and their strategy is to call me, provide dead air, leave the line open from their end as long as possible, and get paid for it all. Just another problem that we've created in our world, and actually paying people for it.

I never said it was only us who look for hand outs????? i know theres alot of us out there who do this!!!! if you dont answer your phone when we call you guys then you are put throu as a re dail. if you answer your phone and tell us you dont want us to call you we will remove you from the list!!!! you can tell us off all you want.... its not like we havent heard it before. we are just doin a JOB like everyone else. if you have our number and dont want us to call u again then jus say it!!!!!
