The following URL links to the FTC FAQ page which the DNC site nearly begged everyone to read before you registered your numbers. See items 28 through 32.

Q&A: The National Do Not Call Registry
ftc.gov

In short, charity callers are not in sales. A ''no-call'' program to control sales calls is not going to expand its coverage just for your inconvenience.

The dirty secret is that many charity calls are placed by a commercial fundraiser, such as Associated Community Services, Dial America, Donor Services Group, Harris, InfoCision, MDS, and TeleFund. These non-sales calls are exempt from federal DNC, even though such call centers are very much for-profit and pocket most of what their periodic campaigns collect. At times the ''charity'' client is itself a closet profit enterprise, compounding the deception. If this caller is representing the Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation, that is truly a ripoff to avoid.

However, as commercial entities, these hired call centers are expected to honor an internal no-call list and add any number upon request. Break that order, the FTC declares, and ''the telemarketer may be subject to a fine of up to $16,000.'' They are also covered to a point by other regulations for telepests, so you can kvetch about abandoned calls, bot calls to mobile phones, and so on.

If a given commercial fundraiser seems deaf to your demands, and/or merely renews its pestering with the next campaign, turn up your volume on paper. Send a cease-comm notice via USPS Certified with return card. It need not say more than to stop calling and writing whatever numbers and addresses you want protected.

We should be able to have a way to stop these nuisance calls. They should be included in the Do Not Call list.

and;866-271-8742, 866-271-9119 I called back and it is an automated line for the Autism Foundation. Allows you with options to remove your 10 digit phone number from list. Have to first choose the option for more information. When I answer the ringing phone, they don't even speak.

I had my call rejection list cleared to block them but according to replys here, they will fill me up and go over my 12 number limit. Here are more numbers; 866-271-9704, 888-277-1062, 866-271-5120, 866-271-4667, 866-271-5639

Autism Foundation.

I asked them to take me off their list.

We'll see how well that works.

another 866 call..they are all unwanted junk and left no message, of course...

You can't call the number back it says you dialed the number wrong!

How do I stop them from calling?

  1. Ask the unwanted caller to stop calling and put you on their do not call list (they are legally required to comply).
  2. If your number is registered with the National Do Not Call Registry you can file a complaint with the FTC.
  3. Block them with a call blocker:
