Block the number if you keep receiving unsolicited calls. When a charity like Diabetes Canada calls unexpectedly, ask for a written request or official website link before sharing any personal or financial details. Verify the organization’s legitimacy by checking its official phone directory or contacting its main office directly. Use your phone’s built‑in call‑blocking feature or a reputable third‑party app to stop repeat calls that ring from early morning to evening. Report persistent harassment to the Federal Trade Commission or your local consumer protection agency. Remember, legitimate nonprofits will never pressure you to donate on the spot without proper documentation.
Recieving repeaded calls from this number between 7 am and 9 pm, with no mesage left, absolutly anoying, if this is indeed Diabetes Canada, they wont achive anything by harassing peoples all day long!
The question is, why are they calling my number in the first place?
A call was received today from someone claiming to represent a diabetic organization, seeking donations of clothes and household items, supposedly to be collected on Monday, which raised suspicions about the caller's true location.
The idea of posting phone numbers here to warn others seems pointless, as it doesn't seem to deter these callers
The intention behind sharing this information is to inform others, like myself, and I appreciate the feedback from Sarah.
It seems illogical to look up a phone number on this site if you're already aware of who the caller is; this behavior appears unnecessary and puzzling.
The Diabetes Society of Canada reaches out to prior donors for contributions, which is a legitimate practice
They left no message on my ansering service, but there were scraping and rumbling noises in the background
