Just received voicemail left by "Lisa Cobb" from the 985-725-9333 number.  She said she "wanted to let you know about an upcoming event. Please call me back."  No thanks!  My line has no Caller ID, so I can't say what company name is associated with the number as of today (1/20/14).  Thanks, all, for the heads up!

Calls constantly but never leaves a message.  Says Cunningham Moore and appears to be a local number.  Must be robo call as it calls every few hours.  I do not answer.

985-725-9333 aka 972-702-8600 aka 414-443-0441 - Called our business once again. Just like last time, claimed to the Shriners Organization, yet Caller ID shows them as Cunningham & Moore (though I now know that they are called Agente Communications, 13601 Preston Rd, Dallas, TX 75240) Only this time, they did not go into their spiel, and instead kept asking for the owner by name. I, the owner, was not in the office when the call came in. When my secretary inquired about the nature of the call, they simply kept asking for me by name and nothing else. My secretary then informed them that I was not in the office at the moment, and they suddenly hung up on her. I will be reporting the calls directly to the FCC.gov website as Nuisance & Harassment calls and will also be filing a formal complaint directly with the BBB.org website as well.

Thanks for listing all of this information. I'm sure there are people out there who would appreciate a site dedicated to showing the truth behind the telemarketing curtain.

  We have been called by this number for quite awhile and too often.
Recently when the calls comes, I just click the talk button and quickly press the off button.
On occasion when that is done , they will call back immediately and hand up.
I,ll continue to do that each time.  If they can take it, so can I.
Want to join, then you do that also.
Maybe the'll get the message that we don't want theirs and it is just a waste of time.

keeps calling...Unknown number

The Company that is making these calls for the Shriners used to be called Cunningham and Moore, but it now goes by the name Agente Communications; even though many of the older callers still use the name Cunningham and Moore on the phone. Their main phone number is 972-702-8600. If you call that number, someone in the processing department will answer the phone and you can ask to speak to whoever you need to, and they will transfer you. They do call nationwide, raising money for many of the local Shriners. Some people may call this a Shriner scam, Shriners scam, or Shriners telemarketing scam. I'm just going to list some of the facts as they stand to the best of my knowledge in 2013 and let you be the judge as to how you feel about your donations to this company calling for the Shriners.

The actual truth is that they have "cold callers" and "tap callers". A cold caller is a person who starts out with the company or who has been there a while and hasn't proven their sales ability yet. A cold caller basically calls cold off from a lead list that is organized by zip code. Cold callers call people who have never donated before (however, some of the numbers may include those who have but just by chance) in the hopes that they can get a donation. Once a cold caller gets a person to commit to giving a donation that donor then becomes a tap. A tap is basically a lead of a person who has donated before, a prior donor for the company. These taps, leads, are stored in a different database from then on out, and on your receipt you will see your tap number in the upper left or upper right hand part of the receipt. All the older receipts used to end with either just a number, or the letters top or bull depending on how valuable a donor you were. now they took the letters of and they end with no letters or just the letter t or b so donors would stop asking what that meant. Now a tap caller is a caller who has proven their sales ability and only calls taps, which are prior donors. Again there are different levels of taps depending on how valuable a donor you are: there are "room taps", "top taps", "bull taps", and even taps in what is called "the premier database".

As far as pay for callers is concerned, all callers are guaranteed to get $10 and hour as a base or commission, whichever is higher at the end of the week. The caller gets 35% of every "cold sale" made. So that means that if you have never donated to this company before then you are a cold sale and the caller gets 35% of your donation. As far as taps are concerned, the caller gets 20% of every "tap sale" made. Again, that means that if you have donated to this company then you are a tap sale and the caller gets 20% of your donation. Unfortunately it gets much worse sounding than that though, because most callers are not good enough on the phones to commission at the end of the week, so they just make the $10 per hour. What that means to you is that if a person only raised $800 in donations for the whole week, and that person worked 40 hours, then that caller made a paycheck of $400; and, therefore, that caller alone got 50% of your donation. Keep in mind that that is just the pay to the individual caller and there is a whole office of staff, office rent, etc, etc,.

So you may be wondering how much the top callers at Agente communications make? Well, there are about 5 bulls at this time at Agente Communications. A "bull" is what they call their very top callers. A few of these bulls consistently pull paychecks of $4,000 to $7,000 each and every week. Yes, you read that correctly, and I did not typo and add an extra zero by accident. I have repeatedly and first hand seen their paychecks and seen their weekly tmr report, which is a report off the donations they brought in. So for you big donors out there, listen up: if you donate $1,000 to a shrine circus or hospitals, then that caller you are on the phone with is guaranteed top get 20% of your thousand; again, factually if you donate $1,000 to a shrine circus or hospital or even a shrine golf tournament, $200 of your $1,000 check is going right into the pocket of the caller that is on the phone with you. Believe me I know I have been that caller many times.

So there are some of the facts as far as pay is concerned with the company called Agente Communication, formerly called Cunningham and Moore. I am thinking about starting a website describing the full range of my knowledge of this company in the hopes of giving donors a more informed decision of where their money is going. I will do so if some of you who reply on here would think you would be interested in seeing a website fully detailing this company and how it is run to the best of my knowledge. just reply to this message with your opinion.

By as I said this company calls over many parts of the country for local Shrines, raising money for their circus' and also hospitals, as well as the shrine charity golf tournaments. Here is a short list of many of the local Shrines that we called for while i worked there, along with the local Shrine name, its location, and the caller ID number that may have been in use at that time (keep in mind they change these numbers frequently to keep donors on their feet:

Hella Shrine Ciircus  (Dallas) and Shriners Hopsitals 972-702-2955 (however they have a few more numbers and i don't have them written down.

Zuhrah Shrine Circus (Minneapolis, MN) 612-379-1011

OK that is a list of most of the Shrine Circus' that this company has called for while i worked there. Oh and by the way they also call for the AMVETS over many parts of the country, and the Dallas Sherifs posse (which they are currently using as a sponsor for Christmas supplies since they lost the Jaycees contract for it). So if you donate to the Shrine Circus or hospitals through this company then you will become a tap, and you will be called for the AMVETS or any other charity that this company holds a contrat for in your area. And, yes, the pay structure is the same for these other charities also.

So there you have it. That is the facts as I know them to the best of my knowledge at the time of this writing. I still want to make a free website that exposes all the rest of this company as well as the lifestyle of the top callers there and how your precious donations are spent (Such as the one who feels that it is necessary to wear several thousands of dollards worth of clothes every day and has multiple expensive vehicles that are all customized). I hope this message on this board proves valuable to those who are thinking about making donations to the Shriners through this telemarking company.

Yep, claiming to be Shriners Organization looking for donations.

985-725-9333 - Called our business a few minutes ago claiming to the Shriners Organization, yet Caller ID shows them as Cunningham & Moore. A quick Google search reveals that they are NOT the Shriners. No surprise there. They proceeded to go into their little spiel and my secretary informed them that while our company does sponsor various local, national and international organizations with charitable donations, we do NOT do it over the phone and ONLY in person. The female caller then continued to attempt to pressure my secretary saying that they offer payment options, different amounts/levels of donations, and so forth. My secretary then proceeded to inform the caller once again that we do NOT participate in phone call donation requests. My secretary then politely ended the call. Cunningham & Moore has a BBB Non-Accredited Rating of F and are located at 13601 Preston Rd # 1045E, Dallas, TX 75240, (972) 702-8600. Since I live and work in the New Orleans area, I will be contacting the local police department to visit the home where this local number is located, to inquire with the homeowner if they are in fact making these illegal calls.

Caller ID showed this number as : "Cunningham Moore"

See also 985-400-2207 "Winner". Someone is doing a chop shop job on this number. (It is never too late to report a bogus phone call.)

Someone from 985-725-9333, called my mom's house asking for me.  She said you have the wrong number.  She told me and I did some research on the number, it is registered to a family in Destrehan, La.  Apparently this is a money operation phone call and should be reported to the proper authorities.

The person gave a name of Lockhart. Claimed to have spoken to my wife about a $25 donation for the Shrine Circus. Told him we may not be home. He said leave it under the door mat. My wife heard the conversation. We hade been out of town for 10 days and knew nothing of this conversation he claimed to have with her.

Cunningham Moore hit my number again June 7 at 6:29 PM. Why I seem to be the only person reporting this number since 18 Oct 2011 I cannot begin to imagine.

Footnote to my previous posting: There is no one by the name "Ashley" at this number or the address connected to the family information found under White Pages, Reverse Look-Up.

Caller ID at 8:08 PM showed the name Cunningham Moore, which when Googled turned out to be a name used by a number of financial and investment companies in the U.S. mid-west. The number when Googled turned out to be that of a family (I'm not going to post the name out of respect for their privacy) in Destrehan, Louisiana. What connection there is between the two groups I cannot imagine.

Said she was Ashley and left her number. No message, no I.D.
