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.
Just received a call from this same number. My answering machine takes over and they don't leave a message. They do however call numerous times per day. Annoying..
I've received multiple calls over the past few days. It might be for an alternate energy company. It's an automated message with no option for being removed from their "list." This is getting annoying fast.
I am one of the "suckers" who thought the call was from Consumers Energy , Jackson, MI and unfortunately gave them the DOB #. Have reported this to Consumers' Energy and will continue to try to have this cancelled. When I tried to call them back the recorded message was: "Thank you for calling. If you want us to put you on the no call list, press 1." About 5 or 6 seconds later it hangs up. The object here is to avoid any possibility to cancel as it now becomes impossible to speak to a live person during call back. They know that I have 30 days to cancel, but they make it impossible to call back to a live person! Then it appears that they post the switch over after 30 days. Very deceitful!
