Don't the cameras work from a certain distance therefore putting the Taxi out of the equation?

One day 3 years ago I accepted a telemarketing call from a certain children's foundation canvassing for donations for abused children. At the time I was working in child protection so the call hit a soft spot and I agreed to donate $250. Thought nothing of it didn't expect to hear from the foundation again. 3 months later they called me again. Again I donated $200. Didn't expect to hear from them again. Guess what happened 3 months later and so it continued every bloody 3 months. At times over the 3 year period I was able to put them off eg in between jobs / financial hardship etc. These people somehow got my mobile number when I changed home phone numbers and were very pushy not accepting no for an answer.
Forward to October 2010 they rang me the week I quit my job I gave them a serve and requested that they not contact me again. The guy called Jason said they would remove me from their call list and gave me a receipt number. Forward to the past week when I have received 3 missed calls from private number and no messages left on voicemail. Today the bastards got through to me and tried to do the spiel again. I advised 'Jason' yes same guy that in October I'd requested no further contact. He turned around and said that there was no record of that on my file and tried convincing me to donate funds by giving me a feel good story about the result of my last donation. I refused to donate any further funds and hung up. I then promptly went and registered both my mobile numbers on the Do Not Call register.

yep I hate that about charities. donate to them once and they keep harassing you about it.
unfortunately for you, charities are exempt from the do not call register

Damn is there any other way I can bar them from calling me? They are extremely persistent and as I said they very rarily accept no for an answer. I really just want to scream down the phone at them but am too polite to do so.

This is why I no longer donate (except to RFDS on occasion). Most charities are simply profit making or feel good exercises for those in charge.
I blame the Asbestos Association of WA. They seem to be the worst. |

Its what happens when they're paid commission on donations generated.

I hate the door knocking ones that ask for bank account details. Like mission australia, Doctors without borders etc. Seriously, fuck off. If i gave it out to every door knocker, I would be paying more to them than my mortgage. I always tell them I would, but i already donated to the guy that came the week before
They really milk it though. The last one that came around for mission australia asked me what school i would be sending my daughter too. I said the primary school that is literally a 1 minute walk away. He told me that was a good decision, because its the only primary school in in the bunbury area that doesnt have a heroin problem |
