Annoying calls
Fact 1) The DNC list CLEARLY does not work, everyone should knows this by know, it's a government program that doesn't function like all or most programs they generate.
Fact 2) Filing a complaint with the FCC does not work, a total waste of time; done that.
Fact 3) Having an unlisted phone will not help you.
Fact 4) Asking/begging telemarketers to take you off their call list does not work!
Fact 5) No "class action" suits are filed and certainly, this is not a remedy. Many of these telemarketers are in other countries and out of the jurisdiction of the USA.
Fact 6) Complaining to the BBB is a corrupt organization that sells their ratings to the highest bidder.
QUIT BEING FRUSTRATED over Telemarketers-Scammers & Bill Collectors HOUNDING day after day!
*******DON'T GET MAD – HIT BACK!**********************
*******STOP BEING ANNOYED - STOP BEING A VICTIM*****
*******PURCHASE A CALL BLOCKING TELEPHONE!!!*******
AMAZON.COM has a great selection of blocking telephones & devices, some will hold up to 1,200 numbers. They’re cheap - $40-$60 and they work beautifully! These phones or blocking devices also block “PRIVATE”, “OUT OF AREA” and "UNKNOWN" calls!!!
Some phone companies include a *60 call block feature with their service………
I agree 100%. I received my 1200 number call blocker a month and a half ago and it works like a charm, once blocked the calling number doesn't ring through.
The DNC list is worthless and does nothing, typical government waste. All they do is compile statistics and they don't stop scammers from calling any individual number so don't waste your time. And charities, political groups and survey takers can call 100's of times an hour and nothing stops them except not picking up the phone for numbers you don't recognize. After awhile they give up and move on to the next potential victim.
It does work for law abiding companies. It will not stop determined criminals and scammers. And the government has prosecuted people who have violated the DNC rules.
Like I say, because it's imperfect, doesn't mean it is worthless. To say otherwise is just like saying we shouldn't have laws against criminal behavior, because criminals are sometimes successful in breaking them. What kind of logic is that?
We need to call our senator and ask that they introduce oversight on the FTC and FCC to hold this agencies accountable. As it stands hey claim that it is not possible to track these telemarketers ; yet, they still get paid. Our law makers need to make sure that if these agencies do not have people that can do this job, eliminate them and hire people that can. After all, it is our tax dollars paying them to just file our complaints.
