yup got it dont want it get lost

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...recyclingmatters @ bellnet.caThis 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.

they are a non-profit/charitable organization - according to the DNC-list these organizations are still permitted to call

I am trying to decide if you are sarcastic or not.... keep doing it this way?  they call and do not leave messages, and many report getting dead air ... this is not the way to get donations ... they are not doing their charity any favours by calling 5 times a day just to harrass people by making them run for a phone and then  no one talks to themI got a cold call from the CF people in the summer looking for donations .. when I answered the phone, I had a polite person explain what they were doing etc., and I told them to send a truck over ... I emptied my basement and garage of items I had been hanging onto for years .... I would deal with them again simply because they had their name on the display;  talked to me when I answered;  were courteous, and have not called me since then, which I assume means that they realise that they should wait about a year to see if I accumulated more unwanted items.  They also provided their business card when they stopped by with their phone number and web site so I can contact them .... this is how you collect items for a charity ... well done CF :)

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?

called, dead air
