A flimsy pretense ... Cold sales calls cannot be laundered as a DNCR exemption.
"Scammers" is an opinion, not a call category. This website cannot afford to be seen with an editorial slant. The moment the drop menu includes a "scammer" or "spammer" choice, every call which is neither will be misidentified as such by everyone who reports "didn't answer", "blocked it", "hung up", or otherwise did nothing to actually identify the caller .... which is exactly the goal of these database sites.
Caller my cell. Rejected first, then blocked. Read it's a cruise scam. I get a lot of those 213 area code cruise things on my cell. I always look to see what others are saying.
