I'm writing a newspaper story about telemarketers raising funds for charities but keeping most or all of the money for themselves. If you've been contacted by Futuremarket and are willing to be interviewed -- particularly if you live in California -- email me at preese@sacbee.com.

I believe Charity Organizations are NOT effected by the Do Not Call.  Was told they can call.  They are not selling anything.

They call me every night it begins at 8 pm, 2x!! I'm sick of them!! How do I make them go away?

We just received another call from Future market at 8:00PM on a Sunday night and decided to pick up.  Guess what....NOTHING! I then googled the number and ended up here.  My wife decided to call the number back whle I was browsing all the posts on here and someone actually answered.  She proceeded to ask them to remove us from their list and said they would.  This was followed by a "would you like to contribute to the diabetes fund" which we promptly turned down.  Lets see if it works.  My guess is I will still get calls all week.

Get calls at least 3x/day from this number.  Caller ID shows Futuremarket.  I'm sorry,  but this they are on the verge of "stalking".  I have repeatedly asked them to stop calling.......they apologize & say they will take my # off the list.  Within a few days I start getting their calls again.  I've registered on the Do Not Call list and this doesn't seem to matter.  Is there some place I can truly make a complaint that will be acted on?

Phone-Scam.

I got a call from this 361-992-3060 number this morning; said that she was calling "on behalf of the American Diabetes Association"; Caller ID read FurureMarket TE; I looked this number up on "Reverse Lookup" -- registered to a: Heather L. Graham, 1901 Rodd Fld. Rd. #197, Corpus Christi, TX 78412; The American Diabetes has a 1-800-342-2383 number; Do not give out personal information (credit card, bank numbers, etc.) to anyone over the telephone, PERIOD! This is definitely a scam operation if they're calling "on behalf of . . . "! Warning!
