Don't you know? ... "Political Surveys" are exempt from the DNC list!
ANYONE can call your number by just saying they want you to answer a few of their survey questions first. THEN they ask for your credit card numbers and any other information they can con you into giving them.
Before the Phone Number Database was "supposedly compiled but not released to anyone (on January 24th, 2012,)" I have received over 200+ b.s. calls. Snopes and all kinds of other political websites try to express that the numbers list was not released to anyone and that you do not have to put your number on a do not call list. The question is.. WHY would they need to compile an ENTIRE list of private cell phone numbers just so they can do nothing with them? Why do they want you to ignore it?
They make MONEY off of selling your information and all these people trying to contact you. Kinda sad that the Government catapulted this problem rather than trying to fix it.
If its that important they'll leave a message. Simple as that. If ur number doesn't show up when u call me, I'm not answering. Call me alllll u want to; u will never get a response haha. Beat u at ur own game
Another annoying phone call! I screen all calls that I do not know & if they do not leave a message I no longer answer them. I also warn people with whom I do business that if I do not recognize the caller ID & there is no message, I will not answer their call.
This has been THE most annoying phone 'business'. I get so many of these annoying calls...It really disrupts the privacy of my home.
