You need to go do some reading. The DNC is just a list of numbers maintained by the FTC. No Army of enforcers, no one monitoring anyone's calls, no mechanical call blocking devices and It doesn't enforce anything and wasn't created to. Just a list that you put your name on asking not to be called. Whether you are called or not depends upon the honesty of the callers. It is an impossible task both economically and physically to run down and try to prosecute each and every complaint filed with them.
Called and left no message. Have been on the Do Not Call List for years and renew every 5 years. Doesn't seem to stop these telemarketers from calling. I have started answering the phone and cutting them off asking them to please take our number and name off of their list and I do report telemarketers who do not comply with my request. I also block the number, but as everyone knows, they just call from another one of their thousands of numbers. Does anyone read these complaints and do anything about them?????
no CD, they do not..I'm not sure they can..w/VOIP & the internet making it easy to spoof #'s, there's no real way to stop these kinds of calls..At home I have a Digitone Call Blocker which is the best $100 I ever spent, as it gives me the ability to block entire area codes as well as individual #'s..I love it...but I have a Straight Talk plan for my cell phone and no way of blocking ANYTHING..I often answer and play polite till I talk to someone and then verbally abuse them 'till they hang up on me or engage in foul-mouthed insults with them for fun, a lot of them are foreigners who are used to being berated by fed up customers and yell/swear back but I ALWAYS get the last word..Being as it's the only alternative, I just go along for the ride!
I am on the Do Not Call list and do not have a mortgage. This automated message was selling mortgage rates. I hung up before I could listen to the whole story behind the call.
Automated robotron voice said: "This is an important call about your mortgage. President Obama has recently..." I hung up. They called my cell which is on the DNC.
