During the series of aforementioned calls, I did ask one of the callers if she were a volunteer or a telemarketer. She told me that she was a telemarketer, after which I came to my decision. This org needs to combine its lists (which it generates from a great many sources, such as shuls, websites, email lists, and of course, previous donations) to avoid duplication and wasted money calling the same people (who happen to be on different lists). As someone who works with data analysis tools daily, I offered to help them.
