Calls repeatedly, doesn't leave message, Caller ID simply says, "Toll Free Caller"

My husband and daughter have donated blood in the past, but my daughter no longer lives here, and my husband is so tired of receiving calls that he is not wanting to donate blood anymore!!!  It is not necessary to call people and beg for blood.  He gives through his employment at the company headquarters.  It is done on a regular basis, and he is not going to drop everything and run out somewhere to give more blood just because someone keeps harassing us on the phone.  This approach will turn people off from giving blood, because it causes otherwise generous and loving folks to feel tormented.

i told them i was going to be leaving the country for about a year and they havent called me till just now. literally a year ago they called and i told them id be gone. they sure were quick to call when i "came back"
try telling them this they didnt call once the past year. and yes i still donated blood

Got a call from these jerks asking for "dune"....oriental caller probably taiwan call center or something. I won't donate blood anymore because of the harassing phone calls.

They called me at nine at night, how professional!

Hello Former UBS employee
Thanks for the information. As you can see I am a new employee. I have not started class yet but I will be soon. This seemed like a good chance to do something good while working part-time and having time for my family. I have been doing call center most of my working life but not out bound. Can you tell me how the goals work for the employee?  What do we say to customers? Is it like a boiler room? All info that you give me will be greatly appreciated.
P.S--I never though blood would ever get thrown away..This came as a shock.
Thanks for all your input
New Employee

Yep- just got multiple calls from them today wanting me t odrive from New Mexico to El Paso Texas to donate blood-- are they frigin out of their minds!!!

Soooo-- I called back and told them never to contactmeagain, ANY future contact will be considered harrasmentandIwill report to any/all applicable agencies....

You can download a silent ringtone.  Then create a contact with this number.  Call it "Silent" or "Unwanted Caller" or whatever.  Then when they call you will not hear the ring.  I use it for several nuisance callers.  Of course, it still shows up as a missed call, but no ring...........

LenaLee---That was so-o-o-o kind of you to post that information. I have received SO MANY calls from them for over a year; at 9:30 at night, on Sundays---Sure, they need blood. But that doesn't justify harassing people. I found it quite frightening at first, before I did a lot of searching to find out who was calling me at all these odd hours. Many thanks for your kindness.

Donated blood a few times. They won't stop calling. Day, night, whatever... they keep calling. Maybe if they didn't keep so many call center staffers they wouldn't have to charge so much to save people's lives. What a racket. UBS.

Since it's for-profit, regardless of their tax status, I put them as "telemarketer."

Caller is calling all hours everyday. Please ban or block number. I do not answer calls I dont know who they are. After reading what others have said I glad I dont answer just wish they would quit calling waking up everyone

Found this on another site about this number. This may help the repeated nagging phone calls.

Go to bloodhero.com.
Log in with your donor ID number and go to your profile (they can look up your ID number if you don't have your card).
Your phone number will be listed and it will say 'Opt Out: No'.
Change it to yes and submit.

Finally! Thank you for this info.  I hope it helps!!! I logged on and OPTED out.  I guess telling them multiple times on the phone isn't enough.  I was livid when I got mailings at my house with personal information on it and cards telling me happy birthday, come donate again!

On one phone no # given, full 877# given on cell phone, just to clarify. After reading other posts, I want to also report that I also get calls after 9, 10, and up to 11 pm.  I have told them nicely that we do not take calls after 9.  Nobody got the message I suppose.

I tried x3 to give blood, unsuccessfully.  I told them not to call me again.  Aaaahhh.

I'm not sure what you all are complaining about.  I receive a call from this company approximately once a month asking if I have time to donate.  Most times I can't and they graciously say "OK - thanks anyway" and call me back several weeks later.  They are simply working on behalf of my local blood bank to get more donors.  Good company - good cause.  Because they called I am headed to the hospital in a few hours to donate.

Isnt their website untiedbloodservices.ORG? and im pretty sure it cost a lot of money to test, handle, and process all that blood. Pretty sure thats why patients pay for it.

why dont you just tell them you dont want to be called at certain hours instead of complaining on here about it. They obviously stopped calling you the whole nine months because of your accutane. I dont mind being called because i know that hardly anyone donates anymore and so many people need blood. Taking 5 min out of my day to schedule a donation isnt a big deal. Its called helping your community!!!

They are not in violation if you ever donated blood and gave them your number. If however you have NEVER donated and given your phone number, then yes they are. Unfortunately, it is sometimes hard to get them to stop anyway. I usually threaten with lawsuit, it works with some, some not, depends how persistent they are. United Blood is a business though and can be reported too the BBB.

Keep getting calls from this #.  I don't answer, they don't leave messages.  Nice to know who is calling.  I am on a non-solicitation list.  Are they in violation?

I received a call from this number on my cell phone it turned out to be United Blood Services asking for adonation. Everyone do your part donate blood it saves lived, and No I do not work for UBS.

I received a call from this number and would like to take off my phone, Thanks

Am receiving repeated calls from 1-877-392-4483. Calls every day. What need to do to stop calling my cell phone?

Due to shrinking call lists United Blood Services thinks they have no choice but to call donors repetitively to get what they need and want....Blood...free blood in which they turn arround and make profit off of. How else can they pay for those huge blood mobiles? The best way to get off the list is to contact the corporate office and request that they remove all numbers associated with you the donor. When I first started working at the calll center we simply called the old fashion way by picking up the phone and dialing. Now becuase the center saw an increase in productivity from donors the upper management decided to add a dialer system call "The DiALER" or its proper name "SER". calls were increased exponentialy and the number of complaints rose. I felt terrible about all the complaints i recieved as a supervisor however i needed to put food on the table and pay my bills so I hope you dont hate me to much! I quit becuase of the unethical practices at the work place to include walking in on the director half nude in her office gross!! I have made several complaints and basicaly the Hr dept shruggged off any complaint that I had. Whatever! im doing so much better now that UBS is in my past ! Sorry for all the calls trust me when i say that the calls will not stop!!

Oh and one more thing!! Did you know the call center has a pre set goal to meet every month. What i mean is that say for example for the month of January the center has to make its goal of 1,000 Whole blood units for a particular center. So if the center half way through the month is not making goal the call center implements strategies to gain some ground in order to hit its goal. Thus you receive more calls!! The entire year is set up with particular goals for each month and the goals are not met the supervisors at the call center are the ones to blame...just thought you would like to know!! Oh and if the center exceeds its goal and if the center stops taking a particular blood type in called a "suppression" then the clinics may have to discard units of blood becuase of overflow and experation. Yes I know i sound like an upset former employee however the truth is appparent...UBS calls way to much and the intentions are to make a profit!!

Am receiving repeated calls from 877-392-4483 (United Blood Services) requesting blood donations.  Have informed them absolutely to stop calling my cell phone, to no effect.

I believe in donating blood because I believe it is very important to help people in need, but I not believe in being harassed by the United Blood Services.  They called me every day for two weeks until I told them I was going to be on Accutane for nine months, and then after nine months they began calling again.  They do not call during regular hours - at dinner time, early in the morning, late at night, and I find this to be very rude.  It does not make me want to go and donate my blood - I will donate when I have time and I don't appreciate being bugged about it every time I turn around.

You think that's funny? People need our blood! I hope you get aids you jerk! I was diagnosed with crohn's and I can't give blood anymore! I can't help someone in need. :(

It's funny. They say to donate 3 times a year. I have donated already 3 times within 4 months and I still get calls. I should start giving Plasma and get money out of it.

PLEASE remove my number from your calling list. No one here is physically able to donate blood.
This is my 2nd request.
