it is World Vision, but it's just their regular switchboard: not fundraising or spam calls. Calls come to me on this about work I am doing for them. it wouldn't surprise me if child sponsors get calls via here because they have an ongoing relationship with the organisation.

I do sponsor a child and did not know this was World Vision until I found out on this site. I'm happy to sponsor a child but not to take marketing calls. I did not answer the call and they did not leave a message

I just had a call from this number today because I've sent an email regarding something about my sponsor child. I wish they would respond to that and not call me as I've said I prefer email contact and not phone calls, I've had so many telemarketing calls that I now don't answer most numbers I don't identify.

i left this to go to voicemail as i do... i realised it was world vision and called them back as i thought it was the call back i had requested but he seemed not to know about this issue i had called them about so it's just marketing methinks

I have blocked this number. I do this with all repeated hang ups.

I am getting calls (4 missed calls so far as I'm not picking up) from the same number on my mobile and I sponsor a child with World Vision so I guess it is them. I don't like to decide over the phone about changing donations amounts so prefer not to receive calls like this but can appreciate that they are just doing their job as I work for a nonprofit, but I don't do telemarketing.

I sponsored a child through them also but had to stop due to change in financial circumstances. I don't want people chasing me for wine sales, money,solar panels or whatever. It's an invasion of privacy and if I want something I will ask for it!

I emailed World Vision through their website & they confirmed that it is a World Vision phone number.

We keep getting calls from this number and they just hang up at the other end, I don't know why they won't say anything at the other end?

I keep getting missed calls with this number. Whenever I have called it back it is an answering machine with a message from World Vision but the number doesn't match the website phone number?

Who owns the number?

Here here!!

I also keep receiving calls from this number im scared its world visionas they are chasing my bank account details.Do you have reason for them to contact you as well or do you think it's someone else?

I just got a call from this number but i didnt answer. I sponsor a child also...hmmm

me too,  i am going to email them & request they do not call me for donations.

hahahah I guess I am a "selfish fool".
I cancelled my donations to one of the many charities I donate to for the simple reason that I don't think calling me EVERY SINGLE DAY (when I'm obviously not available for whatever reason) is a very good use of the money I donate.
Most charities leave a message or send me information via email regarding the issue.
Seriously, calling me every day when i obviously am not going to answer the phone is just stupid.
There's a lot of other charities out there who have a clue and don't throw money down the drain like this.
I give about $6000 a year to charity and i don't want it wasted on calling me obsessively. It's actually borderline stalking/prank calling. I don't care who you are. If you call me every day and don't leave a message.. you are harassing me.
