We did that when we were getting repeated calls from some outfit trying to fax us something. WRONG NUMBER, but how could I get that across since fax machines don't answer people calls.<br /><br />As for charities, I'm with you on preferring mailed solicitations, but . . . it bugs me so much when they just keep on mailing expensive looking appeals. Makes me wonder how they're spending donated dollars.dcpeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717760056852737076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933084868399786273.post-57404049537982648652010-01-13T10:31:48.903+00:002010-01-13T10:31:48.903+00:00I get the feelings of violation!

You almost want to have some kind of loud hooter to play into the phone when they call - maybe that'd slow them down :)Saffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650536187570834838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933084868399786273.post-77188344262715138982010-01-12T21:53:55.547+00:002010-01-12T21:53:55.547+00:00Nope, the "do not call" list doesn't...Nope, the "do not call" list doesn't count for charities or for political calls. Congress wouldn't legislate away their phone-solicitation capabilities, you know? :)<br /><br />I don't donate to charities that call, either. I tell them to please contact us only by mail and we'll consider donating. They actually seem to get the message without a problem.Two Shorten the Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552869938010784108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933084868399786273.post-44455303580162580412010-01-12T21:07:03.489+00:002010-01-12T21:07:03.489+00:00Don't they have a do not call list?

I guess now I know why my husband is so reluctant to give out our phone number to anyone at all!areyoukiddingmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107214079237461141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933084868399786273.post-25864046892985353172010-01-12T19:09:40.724+00:002010-01-12T19:09:40.724+00:00That is insane!
