“Many of these people make their living collecting “tzedahah” usually gettng a % of their take….this is their job, they won’t stop so easily”
These people are subject to the rules governing the National Do-Not-Call registry and you may ask them to remove your name from their list (on behalf of THAT organization) if your phone number is registered, if that is your wish. If they call again they (not the organization they are calling on behalf of) risk a $16,000 fine, for each call they make.
What I find most annoying are the robo calls where you pick up the phone and there is nobody on the line.
