Who would have guessed that a charitable blood center could feel like a relentless telemarketer? The New York Blood Center regularly dials residents to schedule donation appointments, often ignoring removal requests. While the mission is noble, unsolicited calls can breach personal privacy expectations. Ask the caller to add your number to their internal Do Not Call list and confirm in writing. If the calls persist, file a complaint with the FTC or your state consumer agency and consider using your carrier’s block feature or a third‑party call‑filtering app. Keep a log of dates, times, and any promises made, as that record strengthens any complaint you submit.
Repeated calls and texts have been received, with no cessation in contact attempts.
This number is from the New York City Blood Bank, they are very pushy about setting up appointments, they called me three times over thanksgiving weekend last year, i asked them to remove me from the list, but they keep calling, at least twice this week.
In Southern New Jersey, I've been receiving weekly calls from the Blood Center, despite requesting that my number be removed from their contact list on multiple occasions.
