We've been getting calls from this number all week but haven't answered. I called it last night. It WAS the NRA. I didn't speak to a person, but I was able to push one, listen to maybe 20 seconds of info about the NRA, and then I was provided with the option to enter my phone number to be removed from their call list. I did, and tonight we didn't get a call. Time will tell if it worked. We are members of the NRA, so I think it was really them - the description sounded legit. I wish they would identify themselves - my husband might have talked to them! I was just sick of the phone ringing!
When I said NRA I meant National Rifle Association. It says they are the National Rifle Association when you call - they didn't say NRA.
If you call the number press selection 3, and they will ask you if you would like to be removed from the phone list. This is a third party phone calling center. It's not directly affilliated with the NRA.
I have been getting calls from this number every day at 8:05 a.m. I usually don't answer because the caller I.D. just say's 866 Service. They never leave a message. Finally, tonight I called the number, and it is the National Rifle Association, of which I and my wife are both members. I got a recording stating that they were calling me with an "update" on my information. I suspect it has something to do with my recent membership renewal, and the need to validate the insurance portion of that. Anyway, I pressed 1 for more info, and then at the end of a short spiel, there was an option to press 3 to remove my number from the calling list. When I pressed 3, I was asked to key in my phone number, which I did. Then the recording said that my number would be removed within a few days from the calling list. Hopefully, this will stop the incessant calls.
Got call when not at home, the only thing on the caller id was the phone number and Toll Free, nothing about the NRA.
The NRA calls are on behalf of the National Riffle Association who has paid the company InfoCision to make the calls on their behalf. The calls are made to the numbers in the NRA membership database (and some are targeting member cell phones).(a) the caller will be able to tell you your end of membership date and your membership # because the NRA has provided that information to InfoCision along with your name, address and phone number.(b) you will only get as much information from the caller as your state law requires (so you may not be told that it is infoCision making the call). The infocision 'communicators' will lie to you. I told people that I'm an NRA member and own a s**t ton of riffles, I also claimed to hunt. Nothing could be further from the truth. (Oh, and the stinky 350 pound woman next to me was great at playing the doting high school cheerleader type act.. she might have been a telephone sex line operator before or something... but boy did she sell memberships with all her giggles and doting on the member's ego.... if only they knew that she could have crushed probably half of them with just one thigh... or knocked them over dead just by lifing one flabby arm up wind!)(c) your number will be considered an incomplete call until you:(c)(a) -- Admit you are the person called (if they say "hey, john doe!" then say yup, that's me) THEN listen long enough to hear that the call is from the National Rifle Association AND THEN you say "Take me off your calling list" once (and you have to say it pretty much that exact way. If you say "I wish you wouldn't call me" that will not do it because (as my supervisor said) you have only expressed an opinion and have not made an actual request to be removed) --OR-- (c)(b) -- you refuse to extend your membership at least 3 times AND refuse the add-on donation at least once (so the caller is going to keep talking through you until they've reached that magic number or they get fired)(d) The phone numbers on the list are handled by a computer and routed to the next available 'communicator'. That computer will keep dialing your number until a communicator has marked it as completed (see above) and it will continue to cycle through those numbers until the end of the contract. The current contract has been going on since Jan 2014 (if not earlier) and will probably continue to go on as long as the NRA doesn't go in the hole on it (they get charged set fees even if InfoCision doesn't collect a dime from their members). The NRA is looking for big numbers in membership to throw around as political weight.AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL --- MORE THAN 80% of your money will go to the company that called you (InfoCision). That number could be as high as 95% of the money. The NRA could actually go in the hole on it if InfoCision doesn't get enough people to extend their memberships. (Google InfoCision and see for yourself). The money is NOT going to fight anyone or anything in congress, it is going directly to the pockets of the private family that owns the company InfoCision, less a few pennies paid to the 'communicators'. SO, even if you believe in what the NRA is selling, extending your membership with a telemarketer isn't doing squat to promote your favored cause. If you paid the $150 extension, then @ $15 went to your cause and $135 went to InfoCision. If you did the $500 lifetime membership, $50 went to the NRA and $450 went to the company that harassed you on your cell phone.The NRA is a non-profit organization, so the Federal Do Not Call list does not apply to them even if you weren't a member. But they are calling existing and terminated members so the Federal Do Not Call list doesn't apply to them anyway.Saying the person is dead will not remove your number. If you want to cost InfoCision money/time... then request a copy of their "Corporate Do Not Call List Policy" -- this will get you transferred to a supervisor who is responsible to ensure that a copy IS mailed out to you because you can get a $500 award if you don't receive their policy as requested. Asking that supervisor to remove your number from ALL CALLING LISTS USED BY INFOCISION at that time will have the greatest chance of having your number removed. (Part of how the NRA pays their bill is by giving their calling list to InfoCision to resell to other InfoCision clients, and a NRA member would be sold of many, many times during the political season because InfoCision is the number one telemarketer for all of the Republican related organizations)
