FALSE. Telemarketers cannot pay a fee to get around the DNCR. These people are fraudsters not telemarketers. This scam is so old it has worn out the telephone lines I'm surprised anyone still falls for it. By the way they get your number from the DNCR. They don't care if you report them the number is spoofed, besides they are calling from the US.They have been fined. The CRTC knows who they are. The FTC knows who they are, but they contribute more in campaign contributions to congressmen and senators then they get in fines. This is the new business model in a country that doesn't manufacture anything anymore. Fraud, scams, and rip offs. The GOP in the US and the Conservative party in Canada want to get rid of the pesky regulations that stand in the way of these people from doing what they are doing. Short of killing them there isn't much you can do. Here's more info: http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com/
