Your service provider can and may sell off your details to telemarketers call centres that will use the line of calling on the service providers behalf to get their foot in the door.
The rate of calls on behalf of (not from) charities seems to increase after being placed on the register.
My advice, be blunt, say no thanks and hang up, dont listen to, or wait for any response. |
Charities are exempt from the " do not call" list, unfortunately. So I just hang up on them without saying a word.
I donate to whom I wish to donate, not some clod on the telephone.
A former employee was a bit of a soft touch, and donated to a charity by telephone. Next thing, she was bombarded with phone calls from charities-they obviously pass around a list from whom they get donations!
