I hate this number.

I receive calls everyday at any hour! I call the number back and it says "To be removed from our DO NOT CALL list, leave your name and telephone number clearly." Yea, I've done that 3 times and I STILL am getting calls at all hours. Is there a place we can go to report them for harrassment or something?! My goodness!

Facter Direct has called my home phone every day for at least a month -- usually several times a day.  I never answer their calls, and they never leave a message.  Is there any way to stop them?

I am another victim of the "called, left no message" group.After reviewing the above  messages, I now must wonder about effectivity of "Do Not Call" program (since the frequency of such calls, and from various numbers, is increasing. Have telemarketers found a way to be identified as "non-profit" groups & therefore avoid the No Call List restrictions ???
I'm sure Congress, etc. will find a way, to effect a law, to correct this ! Hah _ _ _ not in our lifetime !!
Caller ID helps avoid responding to unsolicited "crap" !!!

Take a look at the link and see how much money people give actually gets to the organization to which they think they are giving.

Disgusting

These people call me once a day every day at around 8:00 at night.  I am on do-not-call.  

Is there a way to report them?

FOR ANYBODY INTERESTED:

I used to work at Facter Direct, so some FYI:

The do not call list does not apply to Facter Direct because they work exclusively for non-profit organizations and only call on their behalf to people who have specifically given to that organization before (no cold calls).  They never leave messages as a rule, because the contract they use with their organizations specifies a flat 10 cent payment for each CONTACT, not call.  They only get paid for talking to you, whether you say yes or no doesn't matter.  

They do (or did) calls for: greenpeace, the sandiego zoo, Colonial Williamsburg, a number of political campaigns and other non-profits (those are just the ones I worked on and can still remember, it's been a few years).  They'll try to talk you into a credit card payment, but if you ask, they'll send out an envelope for your pledge, so you can avoid phishing risks.

I hope this helps a few people.

Also, forgot to mention in the above post, if you answer the phone and tell them not to call you again, they have to put you on their personal do-not-contact list.

The multiple calls are because they use a computer based auto-dialler, which automatically calls back based on certain factors.

Thanks for that information, it explains a lot to me and to other people bothered by these pathetic pests.

I receive calls from this number (caller ID shows Donor Services) several times each day.  I often pick up the phone, then hang up.  Can the national "Do Not Call" service do anything to stop their calls?

They have called my cellphone 6 times in the past 2 weeks.  When I answer their calls someone on the other end says, "hello" over and over and there is a busy office sound in the background.  I am beyond annoyed with whoever keeps calling from this number.  Really annoyed.  And if I don't answer, whoever it is never leaves a message.

Contact your State's Attorney General and the FTC with your Info

This number is seriously harassing me all hours of the day, this is ridiculous!!  No message left either, what gives.

If you call them you can go on their do not call list.

same here.  they call constantly.  2 to 3 times a day.  I once answered and told them to cease.  the man said ok but the calls continued and in fact became more frequent!

In most cases, because of FTC regulations, they are not allowed to leave a message. If you are receiving calls from this company, it is because you are a supporter of an organization that has contracted them to contact you.

If you are home when the call comes in, pick up the phone. In most cases, you will find the callers to be polite and friendly. If you decide that you no longer wish to support the organization they are calling you about, politely ask them to remove you from the telephone contact list.

If you simply get on the phone and say something like "He's not here" and hang up, they will call back.

If you don't answer the phone, they will call back.

If you answer the phone and pretend you speak Spanish or some other language, you may be surprised to find the caller is multilingual.

Try not to yell and scream at the caller. Sure, you've been getting these calls for weeks, and it's getting annoying. Still, these people are simply doing a job, in an economy where in some states, more than 10% are unemployed. Also remember, they are calling you about a charity that at least at one point, you felt was worthy of your support.

They are bound by LAW to remove you from the telephone contact list if you request it. No need to tell them "you people keep calling me" or "I'm on the do not call list" (D.N.C. lists do not apply to business and charities you are involved with.)

Simply pick up the phone and say "I'm sorry, but I prefer not to receive these calls. Would you please put me on your do not call list?". They will comply, and you won't have to get yourself all worked up.

If you are just never home when they call, and you keep seeing it on your caller ID, fear not. eventually (Usually after the end of the calendar month) they will move on to a new list, and the calls should stop.

Here is your answer. The calls you receive are dialed through what's called an automated dialer. The "callers" do not know if you are answering the phone or if its a machine until the hear a beep in their ear. Only then can the "caller" tell the computer that you are not home and and he machine picked up. Because the callers are not calling from but on behalf of company's or organizations, callers are instructed to not leave messages. Callers working an outbound center have no control over who is called, what time they are called or how often you are called. I would encourage those who have complained to be happy these individuals are still emotes as this type of job are the ones slowly being shipped over seas.
Try putting yourself in the callers position who is simply doing their job, that includes having people yell at them, call them names, loudly slam the phone and curse at them.

I work for this company (Donor Services) and they are scum.  They treat their employees poorly, pay no attention to morale, and bend the law daily.

Please don't yell at us.  Ask to speak to a supervisor and yell at them.

The economy is trash right now and DSG pays well... even if it is unethical work.
