One more time .... The DNCR is funded by access fees collected from legally compliant telemarketers. The public is not expected to absorb the cost of self-policing by their industry. If you want to drive up the cost of bad business, stop dwelling on how you think "da gubment" has failed you and help undermanned regulators do their jobs. Warn the vulnerable about fraud, report lawbreakers, and sue the companies which deny your rights.

My old man who is more fit than people half his age got one try on 14 July from these turds. Similar to other reports, the Caller ID CNAM was a useless "Ohio Call" and the dialer abandoned before Dad's message recorder could respond. First quarter this year he got a few medical panic button calls which apparently spoofed residential numbers in Manhattan. It's unclear if this one is related.
