IF it is the ASPCA, THEN they are permitted to make calls to solicit funds. The DNC and FTC rules permit legitimate not-for-profit organizations to call UNLESS you tell them to cease and desist. I just said that I AM NOT INTERESTED in helping them through their paid fundraising company. I would much rather mail a check to them directly so these high priced fundraising organizations don't get their 90% cut of the money.
The ASPCA, as far as I can tell, do a tremendous service, but these companies that contract to get them funds are terrible.
Reporting the ASPCA to the DNC and/or the FTC is not supported.
BTW - just had my 3rd call (since December 2013) so I guess their phone number records have been refreshed.
Donate DIRECTLY to your favorite charity so they will not feel compelled to use "companies" that charge outrageous percentages to a charitable organization!
