Try to understand what people are telling you ... if you call us 10 times and we do not answer, we do not want to deal with you ... if only we all had fancy phones where we could block thousands of these pestering numbers so that we do not hear a ring at allWe do not care if it is your job or not ... if you know your company called us several times already, not to mention every OTHER company doing the same thing, then you cannot expect us to be all happy about it ... when I have a cold and want to sleep in, I get awoken several times and can't rest ...same as after a long day at work where I deal with clients who also yell at me, I want to relax when I get home ... if I see you called me several times that day and then call me in the evening when I need to get dinner on the table, chores done etc., and you call me AGAIN, do not expect me to be niceand when I say "you call me"  I mean your company ... all these companies care about is making a quota, and do not care if we are busy or sick or just tired ... you make us run for the phone and when we get there, there is no ID on the phone and half the time no one answers... I do not care if your dialler takes a while to get to you... why are you making that MY problem?Give this feedback to you bosses ...tell them what you read here ... we do not answer because we are not interested.... and by the way, not putting the organisation's name on the display when you call is a violation of the CRTC terms and they can get a huge fine ... I am one of those people who reports organisations like yours for violations ... just because you call yourself a charity does not mean that you can bend the rules.

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.

This is not a do not call site. For the National DNCL site (Canada), go to
https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng.

If they are a legimate organization, then why don't they show their name instead of UNKNOWN NAME..And why don't they at least leave a message...if I am interested in donating anything I can at least call them back..this way I wouldn't give them ANYTHING.....they are very annoying calling all the time...if I ever get a chance to speak to them I certainly will give them an earful!

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.
