Does the American Red Cross stalk you too?
Options
They call me several times a week, even twice in one day sometimes . I've asked them to stop several times- they say they will but they keep calling. I just asked again, hopefully it sticks this time. I heard they only do it to O-types but I don't know what my blood type is. Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone got them to stop?

They gave up on me after a while. Tell them you have an STD.0

I'm pretty sure they are vampires! They quit calling me when I told them I was pregnant (3 years ago). Maybe you could try that!0

They are def. Vampires. If they had just one number, I would call them that on my phone hah. Its always a different number for me.0 -
There are several reasons why people might not qualify as donors -- look them up on their website, and find out if you might be disqualified as a donor. For example, if you lived in Europe for more than 1 year in back in the 1990's, you can't give blood (because of mad cow disease) -- so exchange students are out.0

I would NOT lie to them to disqualify yourself. What happens when you WANT to donate?0 -
Here's how you get them to stop.
Tell them you lived in England from 1980 - 1990, and they won't call back. They'll disqualify you for fear of Mad Cow Disease..0 -

1. They fill up my voice mail with messages still.
2. Its not always the same number.0 -

And mine never leave a message.
Go with: I don't weigh enough. That way you can still donate when you want to.0 -
The Red Cross recently (year ago) entered into a contract with a company to assist with calling donors. The name of the project is DRMS (Donor Relationship Management Program) and the intent was that donors could identify how often and how (text, email, call to cell phone, home, work, etc.) they wanted to be contacted. Unfortunately the software has glitches and the result is yes, donors are called more often than they should be. Communications have gone out attempting to explain the problem and Red Cross management is aware of the extent of donors unhappiness when the glitches occur. But in all honesty, even when I get calls more frequently than I would like, I am also very aware that it is because there are patients in need. Only 3 out of 100 people donate blood. If you've ever received blood or had a family member who needed blood, you would appreciate those who do take the one hour out of their day to give.0
