call,call,******
This number has called several times with ***ody taking responsibility for it. I’m hoping to trace this number to a company, find their internet site, and purge their servers of all numbers. If they want to call someone they should at least do it with some integrity and decency, as well as respect both National and international “do not call” lists.
Persistent, unsolicited calls
Okay, so if you want the persistent people at the Children's Charity Wish Foundation to leave you alone, you need to call 1-800-379-5964. The automated system will guide you to an option that will put you on a do not call list. Takes a few days, but they eventually leave you alone.
I get call atleast two times a day every day.It getting to be way too annoying since I get lot of business calls.
call display indicated solicitation. answered only to blast them. no answer. cowards...
Have asked to not be called. They laid off for about a month, but have s****ed calling a***n.
I got Phoned an number of times during the day no one answered on other end of phone.
there is never anyone on the line when I pick up - they call 3 times a day. very annoying
Too many calls from this one. Claims to be a Children's Charity (Wish Foundation) or so****ing like that. I already told them no, but still receiving phone calls from them. I don't answer, but they have called three times in one day! Finally I answered, and said no thanks. Hope they don't call a***n. If they were from the Fill - A Dream Foundation I am sure they would have proper caller id.
They continue to call several times a day, but **** up when we answer
Donors Grant Wish of Telemarketer When someone calls on the phone and asks you to donate to an organization with a name like Children’s Wish Foundation International, wouldn’t you like to think that most of your money would help grant the wishes of terminally ill children? When AIP President Daniel Borochoff got this call at his home in Maryland, he did what any informed donor would do – he asked how much of his contribution would go to the telemarketing company. The caller, who had identified herself as a telephone solicitor for Reese Brothers Company, asked her supervisor and came back with a figure of “a set amount, no more no less.” When Mr. Borochoff asked her to clarify, she asked another superior and then stated, “Almost 100% goes to charity.” This statement seems curious since the Children’s Wish Foundation’s 1997 federal return showed a budget of $21.3 million, with $12.9 million, or about 60% being paid to Reese Brothers. The actual amount spent on granting dying children’s wishes was reported as $1.9 million, about 9% of the organization’s total expenses, to complete 207 wishes, and another $0.4 million was spent on related services. $11.6 million, or about 84% of this charity’s program service expenditures, were used to “distribute educational material about wish children to the general public.” The group’s tax-return indicates that nearly all such materials were distributed in conjunction with a fundraising solicitation. How can a telemarketer that is paid nearly $13 million tell donors that almost all of the money will go to charity? According to state law in Maryland and other states, all money collected by an outside professional fundraiser must go directly into an account controlled by the charity. The fundraisers may receive a large c***k of that money later on, but to say that it all goes to charity is not technically a lie. It is however, very misleading. In a 1988 ruling, the Supreme Court deemed it uncons***utional for any regulator to require charitable fundraisers to say so****ing they do not want to say when speaking to****ential donors. At the same time, professional fundraisers have a financial incentive not to volunteer the percentage of each contribution that ends up in their hands. Giving in response to a slick telemarketing appeal is tricky business. A wise donor finds out what the professional solicitor’s cut is before making a donation.
