I just received a call from someone one "on behalf of the NRA".  Stated that the NRA is trying to verify phone numbers and can they contact me via this number.  reply "NO.  email if you want, don't call me."  Then he launched into the sales pitch, endowment member for $250, that's $750 off the standard price.  Reply "email me about it, I don't want to talk on the phone or receive future calls."  Just like a telemarketer, he wouldn't stop.  Every time I said NO or don't call me, he went on to the next script.  Call came in at 8:15pm, this not acceptable.

I paid for a lifetime as a donation.  I called and told them to save some money and not to send me the magazine, they complied wife just said they still come, she just tosses them for me, guess I could collect and drop off at the local barber shop or waiting room at work.  There are no "deals" that come to life members that interest me.  The occasional snail mail is unwanted but fine, email, read, delete, phone calls from telemarketers on their behalf, especially at this hour, not acceptable.  Anyone know the best/surefire way to eliminate incoming communication from them, do I need to turn my card in?

To answer some basic questions, the telemarketer used my real name which I gave the NRA.  Work, credit card purchases, etc know me by my "go by" name.  I do not advertize my beliefs in any manner.  It would be very difficult to match my legal name with what I am publicly know as, so the chance of a hacker connecting the dots between a place I may have purchased from and "me" is slim.

I told them that while I support the NRA and am a member, I don't support them calling me during dinner to ask for whatever they were asking for and to put me on the do not call list.  

When I read this the first time I thought you said NSA....  Now I'm disappoint.

Those people called me during a meeting at work, I stepped out to answer it thinking it was a guy calling from the field, needless to say I was pissed and told them to never call again. I've also been pissed at how much junk mail and how much "free" stuff (hats etc.) they send out, how can my $25 a year pay for all that garbage?! How about using that money to fight to keep 7n6 imports or letting me buy an NFA item like a normal gun!

That being said I will continue to support them because they seem to be our best bet.

In clear defiance of their own privacy policy.

I did pretty much the same.

 

This.



1994 called, they want their complaint back.



 

This is the truth....

Already sick of hearing what Hilterly is going to do to my "rights" .

My wife and I are members but the NRA only has our email addresses.

If more gun owners would join maybe they wouldn't need telemarketers.  Sad.

Did that, they still call me.

I signed up as a lifer a while back but never gave them a real phone number so I never get the calls.  Do get the magazine as something to read plus they contain the voting forms.

This, and whenever I've donated through them my credit card seems to always get 'jacked within two weeks.



I don't give them money any more, or to ANYONE who calls me unsolicited.
