Caller id stated charity...no message left. Repeated daily calls in past week.

Received 2 calls the other day and 1 today from Charity at this #. I do not pick it up.

Got a call showed up as 'Charity', 714-551-6848. I answered the phone but couldn't hear the person clearly. When I asked who was calling he was quite rude when he said, almost yelling, "Is the man or woman of the house there?" I said no and hung up.
I usually don't answer a call when it doesn't show a name but I wanted to see who these people were, I'll know not to answer next time.

Caller id "charity" have tried telling them to remove our number, doesn't matter and to "Resident 47", nobody likes a know it all

Didn't leave a message

Things to consider from the Federal Trade Commission when a "hero charity" tries to bully your wallet open ....

Fundraisers Calling on Behalf of Police and Firefighters
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0085-fun ... nd-firefighters
[excerpt]  Simply having the words ?police? or ?firefighter? in an organization?s name doesn?t mean police or firefighters are members of the group. Just because an organization claims it has local ties or works with local police or firefighters doesn?t mean contributions will be used locally or for public safety.

Donating to Public Safety Fundraisers
http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus31-donating-public-safety-fundraisers
[excerpt]  Most police and fire departments are funded by your tax dollars. However, they may ask you to contribute to their professional associations or labor unions at local, state, or national levels. These groups typically use paid fundraisers to solicit donations. Be cautious: simply having the words ''police'' or ''firefighter'' in an organization?s name doesn?t mean police or firefighters are members of the group ? or benefit from it. Call your local police or fire department to verify any fundraiser?s claims.

Handy advice from the FTC ''Before Giving to a Charity''

What's more, always remember that "nonprofit" is a tax category, not a reflection of where money goes. You are likely to find that most if not all charity calls are placed by a commercial fundraiser, such as Associated Community Services, Dial America, Donor Care Center, Donor Services Group, Harris Direct, Horizon Marketing, InfoCision, Insight Teleservices, MDS, and TeleFund. These companies typically swallow half or more of collected funds. What's left can often funnel straight to the salaries and overhead of their "charity" client executives, leaving pennies for the people you're told your dollars benefit. That, of course, assumes the charity is not simply a pure fraud.

As commercial entities, hired call centers are expected to honor an internal no-call list and add any number upon request. Break that order, the FTC declares, and ''the telemarketer may be subject to a fine of up to $16,000.'' They are also covered to a point by other regulations for telepests, so you can report abandoned calls, canned calls to mobile phones, and so on.

In a comment from Nov 2012 linked below, find the simple steps I took to rid myself of a major pain charity boiler room by politely rubbing its face in federal laws. You will note that I never rely on verbal cease-communication demands.

You'll be wasting AG Schneiderman's time with that approach. The New York State no-call law mirrors the federal Do Not Call registry in exempting non-sales calls. It addresses only "telemarketers", meaning calls must have a sales purpose to be covered. I'm sure that fact was not a state secret when you registered your numbers.

If you want to file a legitimate complaint, you might describe a pushy commercial fundraiser for a fraudulent charity, as the "police / firefighter fund" calls often are.

Distressing, I'm sure, but legal. You might try politely revoking permission to call rather than smashing your phone or blowing whistles like a child in a tantrum. If your spoken words don't work, extract an address and make Certified Mail turn up your volume.

Got a call at 3:30 in the afternoon - he was so stupid that he was talking to my answering machine.  I pay for an unlisted number and I am on the do not call register for New York State but they still call.  He called me by name and acted like he knew me.  
They are very arrogant and won't take "NO" for an answer.  I am going to report them to the NYS Attorney General for calling me when I am on the do not call register.

called at 8AM on a Saturday CLAIMING to be calling "on behalf of the National Order of Police". I barked at him "It's* AM on a Saturday. What are you, a FREAK? and slammed the phone down. I have a bosun's whistle on a night table. I should have blown i at hm

the caller said   ,who is this,,, I  said my#phone  number  ,,them  he said   for   the record. them  hang of

Calls and leaves message on machine  "HELLO?" then hangs up.  (male voice)

caller ID says CHARITY

Caller id says "Charity" and number, left no message but someone was on the line, you could hear background voices
