I seem to be getting lots of phone calls from charities?

Question

there was a period in my life when i fell from the offers for free PS3 and xbox 360 where you had to fill out lots of forms on line and give your details in the forms.

i did these forma and know i seem to be paying the actual price, i have gotten 6 calls for the NSPCA and the RSPCA asking for money, i have to tell them that i have to go out and to call back later, i really would give money to the charities but i honestly am strugalling to pay the bills.

if there anyway i can stop them calling me?

Answer 1

I agree with Mr funky pants. I've never had a call from a charity asking for money. Next time they ring ask to be taken off their list and say that if they phone again you will report them to the police. Is there a phone number when you dial 1471 or is it with-held? Sign up for the call preference and/or go ex-directory. Never give out your bank details. Go through their websites or donate money into collection boxes. Be careful next time who you give your details to.

Answer 2

change your phone number

Answer 6

legit charities do not call people for money or pledges.  the rspca and the rspcc are legit.  the calls youre getting are from scumbag conmen trying to wheedle money or bank account details from you.  next time they call inform them your recording the conversation and you've been to the police.  see how quickly they hang up.

Answer 7

ask them to take your number of their calling list!!!
