The "Do not call" list does work. Criminals do not follow the rule of law, then why would they follow the DNC list? Many of these calls are from foreign criminals, faking their caller ID, & are out of the reach of US Justice. You do have the best current solution. Do not answer, or call back, numbers you don't know, & never believe the person on the phone is who they say they are, if you didn't make the call (using a number from the phone book, statement, or back of credit card).
Callied ID said "Power Bill" and message was "or press 2 to be removed from this informational outreach or press 0 to be connected." Wasn't there so didn't press anything.
After reporting Telemarket troubles from another number, this number started calling me. 224-220-3252. I belive the Gov is passing these telemarketeers to your number after you complaint about them. (10-2012)
