I also got a call from 800-952-9419, but I have to reply to the comment about "the Fraternal Order of the State Police".  That organization called me within a few days of moving into my new home.  My new landline phone number was operation for a week or more, and the person from the Fraternal Order of the State Police knew my name.  I was amazed how fast I got on their junk phone list and told them that.  The person on the other send said, "Alright we'll let you get settled in." I swear you have to live under a rock these days if you want any privacy.

The Do Not Call list is worthless, instead report it to the FCC.  If they get enough complaints, they will act on it:

I received a phone call from DialAmerica Magazines, 800-952-9419, but they claimed to be the Special Olympics of New York. I submitted the below complaint to the Do Not Call List and you should too.

This company called claiming to be the Special Olympics of New York, but never gave their actual company name. Their website is http://www.dialamericamags.com/default.aspx. When I called back at 866-544-4880 and they told me that charitable organizations are exempted from this list. They are not a charitable organization. On their website there is a small box stating, "Special Olympics New York appreciates your support.
At no additional cost to you, 12 ½% of the subscription price will be contributed to Special Olympics New York.
This will be added to the $5,954,675.75 that has already been contributed by the DialAmerica Magazine Program." That quote shows that this is a for profit business misusing a charitable organization to bypass the Do Not Call List.

hang up calls

call the number back, a recording tells you to call 866-544-4880 to talk to someone - which i did and asked for my # to be removed and have to say, they were nice and not questioning as to why wanting to be removed.

CALL ALL THE TIME

Anytime I receive an 800 number on my phone, I pick up the phone and hang it up and eventually they stop calling.  Do not call list soes not work!

Lol I received a  smilar call about Special Olympics from this number. they keep saying they are not looking for donation, all they want is me to sign up for their magazine!!!!

I too called the 866-544-4880 # over a week ago and requested my number be removed.  Well, just go a call again now, so, I called the 866 # again and simply told them how can you still be calling me when I requested to be removed?  If you call me again I am reporting you! She was very courteous ans put the number through again.  Next call, IF there should be one, I will not warn them, but simply report them instead!

You do not understand the DO NOT CALL LIST.  If a phione number or name shows they can
call you.  It's only when it reads no name and no number that the do not call works.

This doesn't always work, especially since many of these alleged 800, 888, 866 & etc numbers are robcalls and you can't hangup on them.

From what I have been reading this sounds like a call I received earlier in the week. They didn't exactly say they were the special Olympics, but rather that they were work with them. The Special Olympics is a noble cause, but if I am going to donate, I'll do directly through them.

Buffalo, NY  7/24/12, 10:38am.  Caller ID reads "UNAVAILABLE."  I did not answer; no message left, just a dial tone.

they use the SO as a ploy so not to get intoruble with the DO NOT CALL registry, orgaizations like that are allowed to call even if you block you number. However, last week I got a call from a company that does marketing for all kinds of things. I turned them in since they are NOT organization allowed to make the calls to DNC at least in NY.

I just called that  866 number mentioned above and they claim to be removing me off thier list. Ever since I switched to Vberizon FIOS that's all I get ate these calls! They must be selling your number to marketers

I disagree.  If we call them back, they can say that we have done business with them in the past and thus they are not covered by the (hardly useful) donot call government signup program.  Most people say they dont' answer anyway, so why waste our time?

Please stop calling me!

What is the worst is not having caller ID.   You miss a call,  then have to punch in *69 only to find it was a number you don't recognize and probably never anyone you wanted to speak with in the first place.  Plus you get stuck with the $.75 plus obligatory taxes and fees for each time you simply want to find out who has been calling whether it's a friend or relative ir some dumb greedy telemarketer/politician/fundraiser.

So order Caller ID!

I got a call from this phone number for the first time today. I didn't recognize the number so I didn't pick up. They didn't leave a message so it must not be important.

If I don't know the number, I don't answer.
