They are not supposed to be calling at all if your on the federal DNC period. However, it doesn't stop the illegal ones from doing just that. And yes, they are supposed to place you on a internal DNC when asked also. Charity's, some survey's and political calls are exempt from the DNC and debt collectors have their own set of rules under the FDCPA laws.
ROT, don't answer calls you don't recognize.. And when answered, never give out your information or say yes to anything.
Receive several calls per day/per week. I told them who ever they are looking for does not live here and to stop calling. They still call...I do not pick up unless I recognize the phone number/person. Life goes on. Amen
This number calls every evening around 7:00pm. Unfamiliar number, I let it go to VM. Never a message. Bought a call blocking phone today. Do not have to deal with this number anymore.
