315-627-7071

Rang twice then quit. I did not answer

The American Lung Assoc. calls every day almost.  I am so sick of being solicited on the phone for donations.  Why are they allowed to bug us?

For greater than 2 months, we receive 1 to 4 calls from "American Lung" (315-627-7071) every day.  "Caller ID" identifies it, and we don't answer.

How can we put our telephone on a "no call" list for "American Lung?"

I have had several calls from this number.  Today, immediately after the call ended, I called them back.  The message said that the call was from Strategic Fundraising, and that if we wished to be placed on their do not call list, to press 0.  I did and it prompted me for my phone number.  It said that I would be removed from their calling list within 48 hours.

To their credit: I have, in the past, sent money to the American Lung Association, so I believe they are within their rights to be calling me again.  The reality is, that I never appreciate telephone solicitations and will respond to email or US mail when I am able.  At the moment, I am saying "check with me next year" to all organizations, so especially do not appreciate the interruption of a telephone call.  

My suggestion to everyone, is either to be prepared to make a donation when they call, or be proactive and call the number and add your number to the do not call list before they call you.
