My mother was at my house with my daughter when this guy called and asked for my wife. My mother told him she wasn't home and asked if she could take a message. This guy started getting loud with her and insisted that he speak with my wife because he is her husband. WOW! Really? These scumbags have really hit bottom. Considering I'm on the DNCR and the content of that phone call, I can't wait to hear from him again!
Nothing is wrong with the Do Not Call List - what's wrong is that these Scam American Based con artists hire the FOREIGN call centers to make these illegal calls for them - because the FOREIGN call centers can't be touched by the American Legal System. Then the SCAMMER here in the USA gets the business from the stupid people who actually fall for this crap - and thus they make a killing. Right before they go bankrupt and run off with all of the money - leaving the consumer holding a piece of paper that's not even good enought to wipe their a$$ with when all is said and done.
What we need are laws that allow the PROSECUTION of the companies that BENEFIT from this type of telemarketing. Then - maybe it would slow down a little.
