This company calls endlessly.  When you pick up the phone there is no one on the other end.  they have been calling for months and months and months and months and months and months...  They seem to be some 'charitable organization'.  They donate all of 19% of their 'charitable collections' to charity.  Clearly saints.

    Here's what I find funny:  Did you read all of these messages? and how many of them were plaintive cries that "someone" (the FCC or "the government") should "DO something about this!!!"?  Folks, with the mood of the country today, we can't call for smaller government that is less intrusive in the same breath that we call for them to protect us from the big bad annoying telemarketers.  Would you be willing to pay higher taxes to have that protection??  If not, then call the 800# the Ed gave us (800-967-0862, thank you Ed), press extension 4 for Tiana Vega, and politely tell her that you were told SHE was the one who could fix your problem.  She sounds sad, but she politely took care of it for me.  Remember, she's just someone with a job that helps her take care of paying the rent and day care, okay?  Be kind.

    Peace, my friends.

    Beth, please let us know if BEE LC does, indeed, stop calling.
    I have found that once it is determined by these telemarketers that they have a 'real party', the calls just continue.

    It's been 3 days since I called to ask to be taken off their list.  I haven't received a call from them since.  Due to the amazing caller ID technology, here is what I had before the call.

    1/19 3:44
    1/22 9:29
    1/24 9:16
    1/24 12:37
    1/24 4:46

    I called after that last one, and even though she mentioned that it might take a few hours to get off the list, and not to go crazy if one more call came through, none have come.  Today is 1/27, so it's still early, but I'm pretty happy.  If they call again, I will too, until it stops.

    Good luck, everyone.

    Final update: It's been 3 weeks since I called, asking to be taken off their list, and I'm still BEE LC free!  Good luck to the rest of you, enjoy the power that comes from taking care of it yourself instead of waiting for "someone" else to do it for you.  Thanks for having this forum, 'cause without it, I'd never have found their number.

    This company hired Brett Kimberlin, a convicted terrorist who did around 18 years in jail and is now serving life on parole.  DO NOT GIVE ANY MONEY TO THESE CROOKS, THEY ARE ALL LOW LIFE STALKING FRAUD EXPERTS!!  CALL THE BBB AND REPORT THEM EVEN IF THEY ATTEMPT TO GET A "DONATION" FROM YOU.

    We too get incessant calls from these people, and want it to stop.  They dodge the "do not call list" by claiming to represent charities, but probably the only charity getting anything from the money they wring out of poor unsuspecting folks is themselves.  Why doesn't the government in its watchdog role shut these turkeys down?

    I happen to know a couple people who are currently, or who have worked at Bee LC and believe me they don't like it either. and in today's job market there isn't a whole lot of options other than ending up working there for crap pay. a lot of the employees are either overqualified (yes think someone with bachelor degrees and the like) or are struggling single parents. there aren't a lot of choices out there. of course the reason you get so many calls? if the system actually manages to connect the caller and callee then depending on what you say to these "professional fundraisers" is how your call will be marked. "i'm too busy to speak right now" translates into your call being marked as unavailable so the system will put you back through for another time. sometimes it's an error on the rep's part and mislabels a call and there isn't a way to go back and fix the outcome. if you ask nicely to be put on their do not call list they will. the national do not call list tho doesn't apply to charities or political fundraisers (a couple years ago my number got stuck in some politician's fundraising campaign it's how i know that one). as for where any of the donations go, it does go to charities. the more that's raised the more that actually will go to that charity. i've heard though how people raise holy hell to these people who work the phones, and it amazes me how people are just plain mean and rude. i understand getting mad for something happening repeatedly don't get me wrong. but you folks have got to understand these are people who don't have a lot of job options and are just trying to feed their kids and pay the rent. it's ridiculous i know but haven't any of you done a job you weren't proud of so you could keep a roof over your head? and when it comes down to it the world is full of this. we all feed into each other. you buy a big mac lately? you're still paying someone else's salary when you do. and they in turn will buy a newspaper helping to pay your salary at the hometown paper (or any other example you'd like to give). we're all in a cycle we all live off each other and support each other.

    They hired convected terrorist Brett Kimberlin and treat him like a superhero.  He stole their call list and later opened what is what I am betting a sister organization justice through music.  These people aren't only crooks but they are criminals too.

    I get endless calls from BEE LC also, probably for years now. I might have come up with a strategy to be just as big a pain to them as they are to us. I have unlimited calling so I figured I might as well use it. I can make calls when I am online also, so this is what I started and going to keep doing. I just got a call from BEE LC on their 571-405-5021 line and they must have more than one. I called it back as I have done before and they don't answer, so I just set my phone down and let it ring on their end until they got around to ending the call. This took about 10 minutes or so. Now I figure if we constantly tie up their lines in this manner, it will be sort of like throwing a monkey wrench into the gears of their crooked operation. this is a lot better than doing nothing, don't you think?, lets collectively be a pain in the [***] for them! Remember the old saying, "their is strength in numbers".
