Called 1300 139 648. Got a recorded message and asked to wait. Waited about 1 1/2 mins. Alison came on line & asked me how could she help (....very politely) & that I was being recorded (....very politely). I asked to have our number removed. Alison obliged (...very politely).
The point is....WE SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SUBJECTED TO THIS.
The effect of the above on me is this: there is NO WAY I will EVER donate to PCYC Fund Raising now. Someone needs to do a course in social facilitation as your approach is having a repellant affect. That will not help with your fund raising. The politeness is insincere and manipulative. Get real.

It is a call centre based in Adelaide on behalf of the NSW Police Youth Club raffle.

They rang this afternoon, I asked them who it was, they hung up. Real professional (*sarcasm*).

Rang the number and a recorded message said it was for NSW PCYC and to call 1300 139 648 if you wish to speak to someone. Rang the 1300 number and told the person that answered that I did not want to receive any further calls from them. She was polite, took my number and name and said my number would be taken off their list.

Yeah, constantly calling me too, then hangs up when answered.

If this is pcyc and they want our help they should retrain there phone operators. They don't or won't speak when you do answer the phone I don't see the point in on going infringements on my privacy and the privacy of others. It xant be working for you so stop doing it.

i answered mine last week they said it was the pcyc i told them no ty an they have rang everyday since

They hang up before you can answer! not nice since I am in a wheelchair and it is difficult to get to the phone! no way I am calling a out of state number back! why do they call? Maybe some people will return their Call!

We have also received a couple of calls from this number last week.

Received 2 call from this number, both time I let it run into the answering maching in each case they hung up.

If they are a charity seeking donations then why do they not talk when phone is answered or they just hang up!!!! That is why so many people are suspicious, their operators obviously need more training.  I would never donate to a charity over the phone and give out personal details.
