Has been calling every day. Who is it?

I received this call for the 8th time, @ 9:40AM on 3/24/08, and have once again reported it to donotcall.gov.

It is the American Lung association and unfortunately they are exempt from the Do not call registry cuz its a charity

Been calling everyday, they just hang up as soon as a pickup the phone, charity or not, calling and hanging up is borderline harassment.

Calls once or twice daily, hangs up with speaking each time.

I called the number back and it is the American Lung Assn. They have an auto attendant that will enable you to remove your number from their call list. You don't need to speak to anyone just press 1 as directed then 3 and you will be asked to enter your tel. #.  The recording does say it could take 30 days for the calls to stop.

Hello,

I have been getting the calls also for about a week now.  One call a day, in the morning hours (PDT).  I called the number and it is the American Lung Association.  If you follow the verbal prompts, you can have your phone number removed from their calling list.  They say it takes about thirty days.  We'll see.  Hopes this helps you out.

The is American Lung Assoc.--Just call back & remove..should be within 30 days

I receive daily calls from 917 210 0344 and my caller ID shows American Lung.  The phone rings and when you answer they hang up. I am on the "do not call" registry and I do not like to be bothered by these people.

Call 2-3 times per day, and always hang up.  This may be a legitimate charity, but the use of automatic dialers only serves to annoy people, not increase donations.  I have stopped donating to several charities for using these tactics, but they never seem to learn.

Calls and hangs up EVERY DAY around the same time.  If you answer no one EVER replies.  If this is a legitimate charity call what purpose does it serve them to make the call??  I'm with the other commentor - it is borderline harrassment, and if no one is going to be on the other end of the line why should I be required to call them and ask to be delisted???

Do they receive some compensation from my calling them to be taken off their call list?

Wow these [***] are REALLY annoying. It's the American Lung Association for sure. I requested my number to be removed using their automated system. Only after receiving about 200 hundred calls from them for the last year! I've answered on a few occassions but I always ask to take a message because the person they ask for is not available. They immediately hang up once I ask to take a message. I don't see how these people are making any money at all with these tactics.

They call every day and I have never talked to anyone.  I used the advice from this page to call and remove my # but it took entering it 15 times before it would accept it.

They have been calling me about once every two hours for the last 3 days.  All I get on the answering machine is "hello" and a quick hang up.  I just found the info here and called to be removed from their calling list. Thanks for posting it.

Hang up on answer

I am sick and tired of these people calling.  They call every day.  I never answer.  When my answering machine comes on, they hang up without leaving a message.  How in the world are they supposed to be making a profit if all they do is annoy people by calling and then hanging up. I wish they could be banned from calling.

they call around 8-9 am and I don't answer and they don't leave a message.  Found out from this sight it is the American Lung Association so I called and put my phone # in for them to remove it.

This is NOT the American Lung Association.
Someone spoofed their number.
Who? Your guess is as good as mine.
Some person / organization wants to ascertain that somebody does answer when dialing your number.
Same trick using the American Heart Association number(s)and possibly other charities.
Nobody ever answers in any meaningful way (no solicitation, no dialog, just a machine at best) and yet "they" call every day day, several times a day, morning, afternoon, evening, weekend or holiday.
No legitimate charitable organization would act that way thus antagonizing possible donors.
Another suspicious feature is that while the number "917-210-0344" does always appear on the caller ID, the words "American Lung" do not necessarily.
Instead you merely see "unavailable".
Which is odd since charitable organizations DO want to be identified as such.

Received that number several Central time, by noon. ID said New York, NY.  Pick phone up, say Hello.  Nobody answers.  Spoof for sure.  Just to know if my number is active, what for? Tell me.  Is ther anyway to block or to prosecute for harrasement that number if it is not a Legal number?
