This organization ripped off my aunt for thousands of dollars. For years they called her often and solicited donations for purchases of products. Her purchases included light bulbs and several types of plastic bags.
She is elderly and felt as though she was helping the disadvantaged people working for the company. I told her that it was just a scam and she had to stop. They continued to mail packages of product to her even after she stopped placing orders.
She finally started to refuse the packages and returned them, but it took them a while to stop sending products to her.
I was at her house today when I answered a call from them - I can't believe they are still calling! I asked them to stop calling. Her number is on the "do not call" registry, and I believe there is an exception if the company already has the phone number, but must remove it if you ask them to stop. I know she has asked them in the past to stop calling. I advised her to change her phone number but she won't. I am concerned that she'll fall prey in the future to this company or someone else who calls with a sob story.
I wish someone could prosecute them. It's unbelievable that these scumbags continue to operate this way.
