800-567-0675

nessage was wait for next available rep.

Got a call from  800 567 0675 on June 24 2010.  Apparently St Jude's children's hospital is asking for donations.   Now,   I am out of work and live on my meager savings until I can get work.  My bank account is beginning to squeek that it's getting skinny.  Times are hard but I do volunteer work at the local charity store to keep me active until I can get paying work.  That's the best I can do.  Giving money more than a few cents means I would default on my utility bills.  I am fortunate that I don't owe any money yet.
Because of all this I don't accept this kind of phone canvassing, so I told the lady and asked her to take my number off their calling list.  She persisted and I repeated.  This went on a couple of times until I lost patience and hung up, because she would not let it be and didn't want to hear my tale of woe.

Four days later on June 28 2010 another call from the same number, same place..  Told the lady AGAIN that I had already asked to be taken off their calling list.  The lady repeated and tried to justify her call, "Well, we are a charity and we're asking for contributions".   I told her again that I do not respond to phone canvassing, period.  Lady repeated it again and I told her why I had asked to be taken off the list and to not call this number again.  Eventually she got the message and ended the call.

I know times are hard but we all have it hard.  We can only do what we can.
A bit of common sense would go a long, long, way

I guess they don;t wanna speak to a dest sergeant. No messages.  Thery just hung up.
