it is now mon, dec 23, 2013.
we called the local chapter of march of dimes on mon, dec 16, 2013 & put them in their place & let them know what a nuisance their telemarketers are & to put a lid on it, EVERY ONE is tired of being harassed with their unnecessary, rude calls!!
we were not nice about it & also told them if they kept it up, we would report them to the FTC & Ag offices.

we have not had one phone call from the march of dimes for a week now, & it is so nice to have a quiet telephone again!
we were receiving many, many phone calls from march of dimes EVERY day, to include Sunday's!

every one else should call their local chapters of the march of dimes & tell them to stop this nonsense!

Calls all the time- very persistent. A nuisance! If it is the March of Dimes, they should be aware of the damage to the potential contributors.

Have received calls from this number everyday for the past three days.    I just went to their website, and on the Contact Us page, there's a means of sending them a message about Phone Solicitations.   I've used this choice to ask to be removed from the call list.

Do Not Call List does not apply to not-for-profits (like March of Dimes).  Get over it and just ignore the calls.

we raised all kinds of cain with MOD on Monday & called the local Colorado chapter & we have had absolutely no more phone calls from these pesty idiots!
every one else should become very firm when they are bothered with these phone calls & call your local chapter & give them the what for, this seemed to work for us!
their harassing phone calls are unnecessary & an invasion of our privacy!, we have an unlisted, silent, private phone number that we pay extra for every month, but these stupid telemarketers still seem to get a hold of our phone numbers & also know our names, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
we will also be reporting any harassing phone calls to the federal trade commission, attorney general, & u s government do not call list!
they need to get a life & quit bothering people!!!

Unfortunately, the only thing that would hear your whistle is the bot on the other end of the telephone.

Calls all the time.  Day and night.  Several a day.  They never leave message, no one is there, dial tone.  Called it back today, message says it is from the March of Dimes.  I find that to be very hard to believe.  This is getting vey annoying.

after many, many, many stupid phone calls from this march of dimes telemarketer scheme, we really gave them the what for & told them off really good & then we called the local chapter for the march of dimes & gave them an earful & told them we would turn them in to the FTC & AG if they chose to continue to harass us.
also, they will never receive any support from us, NEVER!!!
it has been TWO days & absolutely NO phone calls & we were getting numerous calls EVERY day, ALL day long!
any one that is told that the system to remove their name & phone number is down is not being told the truth & further more no one should have to give out their private information to be removed, that is a scheme also!!!
call your local chapters & give them an earful & hopefully we can all put a stop to these harassing, annoying phone calls!!!

I ended up calling the "official" March of Dimes headquarters in New York. Spoke with a very nice woman who promised me our number would be deleted from their records within 24 -48 hours. She gave me her name and number - just in case. Hopefully that will eliminate one problem caller.

Include 914-294-4086  to that list of phone numbers they're using.............ALL SHOW MOD.  Calls start anywhere from 8 in the morning to 8:30pm at night.............MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, EVERY DAY.
Like everyone else says,  no one ever answers.    I wish I had call blocker on my phone, but anymore, these vermin get around it by banking a bunch of numbers that they just switch to.   Hopefully after December, they'll stop calling.  
THE DO NOT CALL REGISTRY DOES NOT APPLY TO POLITICIANS AND CHARITIES.............ain't that grand.

Received 2 calls to our unlisted number soliciting donations for March of Dimes.  The first time (call received before 8 am on a Saturday) asked to be placed on the "Do not call" list.  Received 2nd call 2 days later with caller stating that it was the "first time" she "personally" was calling, and that I had no reason to be upset with her and that since she "personally" hadn't been "the one" to call, no law violation or harassment was committed by the March of Dimes.  Would not provide me with info as to where she received my unlisted number.

This number has called 2-3 times a day for the past week.  It rings once and then is caught in our call blocker which requires callers to press a certain # for the call to come through to us.  It never rings through, which tells me the call is being made by an automatic dialer.  Shows up on caller ID as MOD.  We are on the Do Not Call list but apparently this makes no difference to these people.  I used to support March of Dimes but will never do so again.

What could be the gain in calling a crippled up old man and then not say anything but not hang up either. Why tie up my phone line? They need to know we, the people, pay expensive phone bills for OUR use of OUR telephone, not for THEIR use of OUR phone. .

The March of Dimes charity, which frequently describes its name on your caller ID as ?MOD,? has been phoning frantically leading up to the Christmas holiday. The ten phone numbers I have seen from them, and blocked since 10/18/11, include 240-210-7121, 410-202-0116, 571-261-0034, 804-234-9034, 914-368-2551, 914-368-2553, 914-740-1892, 914-740-1895, 914-740-1896 and 914-740-1897.

I?d recommend that everyone who receives one of these calls block these numbers or, if you have no call blocking telephone equipment, that you simply not answer the phone.

How good a charity is the March of Dimes? The following description of ?MOD? is from the current Wikipedia article:

The March of Dimes has been described as a bureaucracy that has taken on a life of its own through a classic example of a process called goal displacement. Faced with redundancy after Jonas Salk discovered the polio vaccine, it adopted a new mission, "fighting birth defects", which was recently changed to a vaguer goal of "breakthrough for babies", rather than disbanding.

Charity Navigator has given the organization a rating of one out of four stars based on its financial filings, meaning "Fails to meet industry standards and performs well below most charities in its Cause." It also notes that the president Jennifer Howse was paid $633,132 in 2010.

--- End of excerpt from current Wikipedia article ---

--- Flash forward to 2013, realizing that Jennifer Howse and some other officers of this so-called
    charity have had some serious pay raises in the interim ---

The March of Dimes began using using solicitation phone numbers of 914-294-xxxx created by Infocision, the largest telemarketer of this type in the US. The phone calls now involved in soliciting your money for this cause are being made by employees of Infocision in or near Akron, Ohio. How much money could be left for those who really need some help after paying the March of Dimes president over $600,000 per year and absorbing the expense of the vicious phone call campaign they are putting on just now? Please make your donations locally to a legitimate charity that will spend most of it on those who are in dire need rather than on lining the pockets of the ?charity?s? officers and other ?administrative expenses.?

I had already entered area code 914 to my call blocker as a result of similar nonsense months ago so I was undisturbed by this new batch of parasites.

Do yourselves a favor folks and get a call blocker.  Sell a kidney and/or first-born if you must. :-)   I used money that I might have otherwise contributed to annoying political parties and charities.  After the constant calls, I decided to put the money to better use.  The resulting absence of annoying calls is worth it.

We have received a call from this # everyday, including Sunday's for the past 3 weeks. Let your $ do your talking. I would not now donate to the March of Dimes if they where the last charity on earth. Maybe if more people told them that, this telephone terrorism would stop!

I am so very sorry telemarketers and professional fund raisers-I, not mistakenly, gave you my fax number so every time you call you get the beep.  I use VOIPO so when they call the fax number it never rings at my home.  If the caller does not transmit a fax I never hear anything about the call until I go to my call history and see that I avoided dozens of calls a month using my mistake.
