So I've been on the National Do Not Call list since it was created and as far as I know, only Political and Surveys are allowed to spam you with unwanted calls regardless of it (which I still don't understand: when you don't want calls from anyone but family and friends, or similar, then you don't, period. But that's a different discussion I suppose.), and yet the Salvation Army, the number 847-662-7730 in particular, still bombards my house (2 different phone lines) with unwanted calls ...

A disclaimer: I support the Salvation Army and all that it does and stands for, but I have multiple Salvation Army "stores" within a 5 minute drive, and one within walking distance, along with multiple drop off points, so I don't also need my phone ringing asking for donations. I don't mind making the short trips to drop items off myself once in a while.

I've tried:

• Verbally asking to be removed from the list once when answering a call.
• Emailing the contact email address on the Salvation Army's website asking how to be removed with the same explanation mentioned above. Never got any reply back of any sort.
• Adding the phone number to a Call Zapper on my computer. You'd think they'd get the hint after a couple of zaps, but as you can see from the call log (a much shortened version, and only from a single phone line), they uhhh ... "don't" ...

I'm about to go postal, ... they're arse annoying as any other telemarketer.
