208-363-9350 / 2083639350

You said one of your biggest problems right away--you answering. The calls are quite possibly coming from overseas, where 130 AM is early afternoon in the Middle East. They don't necessarily need, or have anything to say, you do their work for them by answering their calls. If they know that your number works, they can pass it on to other crooks who pay money for live numbers and email addresses. Try either blocking the call, or shut down any answering machine/voicemail to the number and simply ignore the call. On a cell phone, see if there's an app or way to stop any calls from this number.

"...it is not intentional, there was simply no operator available at that time."It IS intentional, as you have intentionally dialed our telephone number. If you have no operators available, then why do you call anyway? Is it just to annoy people? Is it just to interupt our dinner? Is it just to waste our time? The ARC is the most annoying, persistant, obnoxious telephone solicitors in Boise. You call multiple times a day, and at all hours, and you don't even have the courtesy of having anyone on the line. There is a term for dialing someone's telephone number, and then hanging up without identifying yourself or leaving a message. It is called harrasment. There is a law against telephone harrasment.To be honest, your telephone solicitation practices are so annoying, so intrusive, and so harrasing that I will make it a special point to never, ever, EVER contribute anything to your organization.

Caller hung up when I answeredthat's weird. I'll be glad if they would stop calling.

I agree, these are the most obnoxiously persistent folks in town.

They kept calling my cell phone as well, finally just blocked their number. Calling me to only put me on hold and then hang up, is rude. Don't call if there is "no operator available", wait until there is someone available.

I don't know how they got my cell number, but they did. It costs me every time they call me. I get calls multiple times a day and at odd hours. WHY GOD, WHY?!

they constantly call my cell too. I have asked for them to stop and yet they still call any suggestions?????

I just rec'd one of these "hang up" calls as well, on my cell phone, while I was at work, and I had no idea who it was, until I Googled it. This is the first time I've ever received a hang up from an ARC call. It is annoying yes -- but after reading all of the nasty grams in this blog, I wanted to share our experience with the ARC and hope that people can understand what a great organization the ARC is. We have donated to them for years, and it is incredibly handy to have their truck come to our home, vs. us having to drop it ourselves. I also appreciate the reminder phone calls, letting me know what day their truck will be in my neighborhood. And, I work at Hewlett Packard, and we have had a team of ARC employees working here for years and they are a delightful group of people, always cheerful, and hard working for their respective skill levels. So cut the ARC a break - they are a great resource for employment in our community for people with disabilities who cannot work in the mainstream. And if you have a solution to offer them for their annoying hang up calls, give them a call at 208-363-9350.

It is the arc.

There is a difference between cutting someone a break and having someone say me and my family were horrible people because we had no extra to give, after they call my house between 8 am to 9 pm and no one is ever on the line. I got lucky today and had someone answer and they were rude and disrespectful. So yeah I am with all the nasty grams in this blog considering you cannot get donations if you tell someone they are horrible people. I added this number to my block list, I would never donate to them now!
