They called me too, I am on the do not call list and judging from the number of calls I have received lately I am wondering if this list works. I have been on it for years!
The only way to affect these people is screw with them. Answer the phone and play along...but give only phony information. I find it amusing to check my watch and see how long I can keep a person on the phone. Kinda like a competition. My record is only a little over 5 minutes, but it seemed longer.
If I don't have the time to play, when I get a person on the line I tell them to wait..."someone's at the door". Then put the phone under the pillow and leave it there.
If this caught on it would totally wipe out their business model.
Help the cause and do it. Also pass it on to others. You don't have to just take it.
THEY CALLED AGAIN @ 7:13 PM, DURING DINNER.
MY PANASONIC PHONE RANG ONCE AND THE CALLER WAS BLOCKED.

TO EVERYONE:
+++++++BEING ANGRY OR UPSET WILL NOT HELP YOU!!!!

PLEASE READ BELOW!
FACT 1 - the DNC list CLEARLY does not work! Everyone knows this...or should know this!
FACT 2 - filing a complaint with the FCC does not work! A total and complete waste of time. Done that.
FACT 3 - having an unlisted phone will not help you.
FACT 4 - asking/begging telemarketers to take you off their call list – you’ll get laughed at!
FACT 5 - no "class action" law suits are being filed and certainly, none are being LITIGATED.
FACT 6 – contacting the BBB – LAUGHABLE!!! The BBB is a corrupt organization that sells their ratings to the highest bidder.
*********QUIT BEING FRUSTRATED OVER TELEMARKETER CALLS!********
*******************QUIT BEING A VICTIM!!! *****************
PLEASE DO THIS! PURCHASE A CALL BLOCKING TELEPHONE!!!
Call blocking phones are very inexpensive $40-$60 and they come with, at least, one wireless handset. Very, very convenient.
***********DON'T GET MAD – HIT BACK! ************
STOP BEING ANNOYED AND STOP BEING A VICTIM.
STOP COMPLAINING!
BUY A CALL BLOCKING PHONE!
Uniden and Panasonic make CALL BLOCKING telephones. They’re cheap - $40-$60 and they usually come with a 2nd wireless handset. COSTCO & AMAZON SELL THEM.
They work beautifully! These phones also block
“PRIVATE,” “OUT OF AREA” and "UNKNOWN" calls!!!
I have had the same home number and the same business phone number for over 15 years and my home and my business lines (both published) seem to be on every call list imaginable. I bought a Panasonic call blocking phone for my home and I bought a Uniden call blocking telephone for my business.
NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH TELEMARKETERS. THEY CAN’T GET THROUGH!
We can stop these telemarketers IF we all buy a call blocking phone.
***********NOTHING ELSE WILL STOP THESE TELEMARKETERS! **********
