Called several times, never leaves message. I finally answered, some woman gets on after a long pause, asks how I am, I told her I'm on a do not call list and am annoyed at her constant intrusion, and not interested in what she's selling.
Don't call back and press 5. They are already circumventing the DNC list and it's a proven fact that most of these callers use the tactic to identify valid numbers. They end up calling you even more often.
Go to DONOTCALL.GOV and register a complaint EVERY time you get a call from a telemarketing number that you've not authorized. Convince your friends and family members to do the same.
The US Attorney General's office only takes these companies or individuals to task if there are repeated verifiable complaints lodged against them. Unfortunately, the reports don't come in enough, because we get complacent and put them in our call blocking lists and ignore them from that point. Don't be complacent, be proactive. Even when it's blocked, take a few minutes once a week to report them. It's the only way to make them stop.
Do I contact the Attorney General for my state or for the state of the area code? Or is it for the US Attorney's office. When I did a search, I got several hits on different state's attorney general office. Thanks.
