>> I do not know why I keep getting these calls when I am on the Do Not Call list. <<
What everyone should know about the Federal Do Not Call List.
1. The DNC list is effective in reducing or eliminating calls from legitimate telemarketers - telemarketers who have registered with the FCC, and obtained the DNC list. The DNC list is NOT a call blocking service!
2. The DNC list is NOT intended to, nor can it do the following:
-- automatically block calls.
-- stop calls from:
--- politicians
--- survey companies
--- debt collectors
--- companies with which you have a "business relationship" in the last 18 months.
--- NON registered "telemarketers" (they do not subscribe to the list, and do not care about the list)
--- telespammers, telescum, and other criminals (these people ignore the law)
3. The DNC list is for use by private phones, not business phones
The DNC does indeed work, and is quite effective, if you consider the above statements.
If you wish more protection than that afforded by the DNC provisions, obtain a call blocker device, phone or app. Google is your friend.
If you wish to report a telespammer, report it to the FTC
