Reply To: Jewish "Telemarketing"

There are typically 2 types of callers. Someone from a tzedaka calling for that tzedaka OR someone from an outside company calling “on behalf” of a specific tzedaka. I have found (I ask when they call) that those professional telemarketers who call don’t know when to stop, to the point of badgering you. It is their parnassah and they make a cut of every dollar pledged. Of course they want you to give something and sometimes won’t stop until you literally have no choice but to hang up on them. I think it is those types of calls that has gotten under peoples skin and unfortunately all “tzedaka calls” are lumped together.
