Bank robbers don't stop for red lights. Burglars don't knock before they break in. Scammers don't consult the DNC registry before they call. They're criminals to begin with. Why would expect them to obey that law when they're already breaking so many others?
Claimed to be from the Woodbridge, VA Direct Buy with a promotion that offered a free airline ticket anywhere in the US to include Hawaii. I looked them up on the web and called their 800-320-4964 number and they acknowledged that it was them. I told them I was on the do not call list and they offered to put me on theirs - I declined since I don't care about their list. If they don't honor the FTC list they are in the same class of the other cold callers/scam artist/crooks that call daily.
I got a call from this number, too! Needless to say, I told the guy, who had a rather strange...almost ALIEN-sounding accent, I wasn't interested in whatever they wanted to offer (namely, an "all-expenses-paid, round-trip vacation package", or something of that sort), and put my number on their Do-Not-Call list, also telling them something like, "if it sounds 'too good to be true', I WON'T believe it", before finally hanging up! Believe me, I can smell a SCAM TEN miles away, and now that I know where THESE jokers are coming from...I'm gonna BLOCK that number...and I suggest the REST of you here do the same. My old pastor back in Michigan once told me years ago, "If you don't STAND UP for SOMETHING, you're liable to FALL for ANYTHING!" So, let's STAND UP FOR OUR PRIVACY...LET'S STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS...IT'S NOW, OR NEVER!!! CAN I GET A WITNESS UP IN HERE?!!!
