First, the Do Not Call list does not stop any calls that are dialed regardless of where they originate. It requires the caller to screen numbers against the list although all automatic dialers can be loaded with the DNC list for the target area code(s) and be programmed to skip numbers on the list. Second, foreign entities wishing to conduct telephone sales campaigns in the US are required to register with the FTC and utilize the list the same as US companies. It is just much harder to go after foreign violators unless their country cooperates with the US.
"Canadian" pharmacy again. I never answer calls I do not recognize. I decline and immediately call back from land line. 99.9% of the time its either unwanted or a solicitor like these dumbasses! A "Canadian" pharmacey? Really? In Dale City, VA?
Received a call from 571-298-2451, no caller ID (UNAVAILABLE). Let my answering machine pick up the line, but caller left no message. Other web sites report this caller to be a scammer. The number is probably spoofed.
I could hear much talking in the background and when I asked if there a reason they were calling a man said, "I just want to lick your B**bs". I told him he was disgusting and hung up. Then I called back and they answered and told me nobody there would say that and of course I got angry and he just hung up on me.
Another unwanted unsolicited annoying call from that foreign (Asian) telemarketing outfit who calls themselves Canadian Pharmacy. Given these jerks appear to have no concern for US laws, they may have spoofed numbers to display on caller ID. Nevertheless... These are the other numbers displayed on my caller ID for calls from these jerks over the past 12 months.
