The DNC list is meant as a guide for law abiding telemarketers. You are most likely being called by overseas scammers. Scammers, criminals and scofflaws ignore all laws. Invest in a call blocker and do NOT pick up on call numbers you do not recognize.
A prerecorded message said that I was preapproved for a loan for up to $15,000 from Ace Cash Advance. The message instructed me to call them back at the same number that came up on my caller id (312-600-2484) to speak to a live representative. Even if this is true, I would never just give my ss# and personal info to some random representative on a line for anything. Oh, well. Guess I'll never know.
