800-679-0336

The caller ID shows up as Toll Free Call. I let the machine take the call. The caller would not leave a message. They now are calling every day, sometimes twice a day. I am registered with the Do not Call list but they call anyway. It is frustrating!

I have been getting these phone calls on my cell phone. The first call took place yesterday at 12.06pm, and today again at 4.05pm. My cell phone is not listed anywhere and I am registered with the Do not call list. Who are they? I have never answered any of them but I am getting these calls at least 3 times a week. It's really annoying.

2 weeks, 3-4 times a day. it is very annoying!

I have been getting these call for the past week or so. Today I called back and the introduction message says that it is Dove Foundation. It is a not for profit Christian based organization and it seems that they are allowed to call anyone even if you are on the Do Not Call list.This is not fair! At least show us some respect by leaving a message with what you want and how we can remove ourselves from your list.  

I have been receiving this "Toll Free Call" every so often, but at times it's annoying to get the same caller a few times a day. Since I have cller ID I got rid of my answering machine as to not giving these 800 callers the pleasure of leaving any message or nothing at all. If I don't know the caller... I don't answer!

I just recieved a call from this phone number.  I went to the Dove Foundation - www.dove.org/ and left a message for them to take me off there calling list.  I have heard that Chritable organizations are exempt from the "Do Not Call" list and that they are a charitable org.  I have also heard they are not.

I am on the Do Not Call national registry and received a phone call from 1-800-679-0336 (The Dove Foundation) on January 30, 2007 at 2:44 pm on my private unlisted cell phone number. When I asked them why they were calling me even though I was on the Do Not Call list, they said that they are a non-profit foundation so that they are allowed to evade this requirement. They were extremely rude and asked me leading questions about violence and sex on television in order to coerce me to agree to have another company call me and try to sell me a product. I said yes in order to fully verify that the company would indeed immediately and single-mindedly try to sell me their product, which they did when they called. That other company was Feature Films for Families, a business that sells ‘family-friendly’ entertainment. Basically, the Dove Foundation is using its non-profit status to solicit sales for Feature Films for Families, a for-profit organization that sells DVDs and videos. This is little more than a loophole for a company to evade the Do Not Call law and use its non-profit status in order help another company to profit.

You can do three things about this (it took me less than 10 min to do all three):

1) File a complaint with the Attorney General of Michigan (Dove is a Michigan organization based in Grand Rapids)
https://www.ag.state.mi.us/cp_division/w3cp_c01_new.asp

2) File a complaint with the FCC
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints_general.html

3) File a complaint with the Do Not Call Registry:
"The National Do Not Call Registry applies to any plan, program, or campaign to sell goods or services through interstate phone calls. This includes telemarketers who solicit consumers, often on behalf of third party sellers."

Sara, the Missouri Attorney General got a $70,000 settlement agreement (read: Fine) out of Dove and Feature Films for Families for doing what they did to you, namely calling to get permission to have the for-profit Feature Films for Families solocit you. If the Michigan Attorney General mails you a response from a lawyer in Utah, see if the lawyer is in the same town as Feature Films for Families.

These beggars are harrassing me!

I am on the don't call registry,killed my answering machine rally I don't want people calling me at my home telling me what to do!

How do I destroy these bloodhounds?

Received 2nd call in past 2 weeks from this number- didn't answer either.  Since no voice mail was left the first time, I didn't think much about it.  When I saw the same number come up today, I did a Google search and came up with this site (and many others).  Apparantly, this is becomming a big problem with at least 328 hits for this number; most of them complaints.  Guess I start typing at the "how do I stop them" websites- ag office, DNC registry, etc...  I got time

Recieved 2 calls so far.  No message.
Looked them up and found it is a non-profit.  

many calls day and night on both home and cell phones. No messages left.

I receive call after call from 1-800-679-0336!! Never a message...teeanage friend of my daughter anwered phone today and when they asked for me she told them I passed away a few days ago...hope this stops the calls now!! Doubt it though

Went to their website and left a comment in the contact us section, and left the following:

So far your foundation has made unsolicited calls to two CELL PHONES belonging to myself and my significant other. I don't know how the hell you are getting cell phone numbers, but lest I remind you that UNSOLICITED CALLS TO CELL PHONES ARE ILLEGAL AND PUNISHABLE BY LAW. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE CELL PHONE NUMBERS WERE LISTED ON THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY AS WELL. CALL ME ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL SUE. I'm sure it wouldn't take long to get other people on the bandwagon. Just google search your number and you will find thousands of websites with complaints about your organization, and the fact that you are hiding behind the facade of being a charity without actually being one.

Get Cancer!

Non profit foundation wanting to do a 90 sec survey regarding children, movies and family values. They keep calling after I told the non human recording to take me off the calling list.

I can't believe the number of websites that pop up when you google this number. These people are so rude, and it's amazing to me that the company gets away with it. My plan is to start calling them and hanging up on them, or just asking them random questions. Or I'll just pretend like I'm voting on American Idol! Haha, just call and hang up. Call and hang up. Call and hang up. Hey, it's a "toll free" number so WE'RE not paying that bill, right?
