Put the blame where it really lay's, with the criminals and illegal telemarketers.
The DNC works just fine. It is for telemarketers only and honest business does indeed abide by it. It is the criminals (which includes illegal telemarketers), frauds and scammers that do not. However, the Fed. DNC does not cover some survey's, Political or Charities. You would need to check your states DNC laws to see if these are under your states DNC laws. The fact remains that they are not automatic call blockers though and can not protect you from the calls that are criminal, illegal or fraudulent.
Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.
This caller has an automated message to push 3 stating I may qualified for a "better rate" on my gas bill. The message said to get my last gas bill ready and someone would be with me asap. Held on for awhile, no one answered. Looked up number on line since I don't know anyone in Detroit, and found it was a bogus call. Not sure what the scam is, but they did want my last gas bill. Not sure what they would do with it. Didn't call them back.
Received this call this morning - recorded message stating they are from Consumers Energy to give me discount on my gas bill - press one to be connected - hung up because when would consumers ever call you to save you money, right? Called consumers & they said its probably a discounter trying to get your business. Was given the Michigan Public Service # to call - without an actual company name they can't do anything - gave me the Attorney General's # - they too can't do anything without an actual company, so here is where I ended up. If you do find out the name of the company, you can contact the Attorney General's Office @ 877-765-8388 - & then they can go after the company - especially since they stated to me they were Consumers & they're not.
Why do I need to be wasting my time sitting on hold for there call, that called me. Just to tell them NOT to call this number again. I dont even have consumers gas. I have propane!!!!!!!!!
