The do not call list IS A JOKE. Ever since I put my number on there I get THREE TIMES as many calls. I think they probably get their number from the list itself. Why else would the number of crap calls triple afterwards?
Any body else get a call from here? Missed the call but "Silverdale Wa" and this number was on our Caller Id box when we checked it. They didn't leave any message and haven't called back yet so it must not have been anything important. I check back later and see if anyone else gets their call too.
Caller ID showed "Out of area". Most likely a spoofed Caller ID. The call probably from the same scamming outfit that is trying to intimidate senior citizens into signing up for some kind of medical alert product. They spoof the Caller ID information. That same outfit has called many times with many different names and phone numbers showing up on the Caller ID display. They never leave a message, they just spoof the Caller ID so the next time they call a different number will display. You can block a number that they use to call, but next time it will be a different, spoofed number so your phone will ring again. A complaint has been filed with the FCC about those type of phone calls frpm that type of company. The Do Not Call list does not work with that type of company because they ignore the law.
The do not call list is a joke. I just got a call from this number and it was the scam for a free discount prescription card and they want my address, lol, it also said in the recording that they have contacted my pharmacy. idiots, this is so old.
The do not call list is not a joke, it works for what it's supposed to work for--honest telemarketers. You said yourself the call was a scam--something exempt from the list--along with debt collectors, fundraisers, surveys, and political calls. Scammers are criminals, they're certainly not going to follow the rules, and when many come from overseas, they're not likely to have any knowledge of it. Being on the list DOES NOT mean all unwanted calls will stop, but legitimate telemarketing calls will. If you're on the list, that should give you an idea calls you receive are likely junk. Realize what it does, not what it does not.
