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.
I usually like to answer these calls and see how long I can keep it going without giving vital information.
It's an automated message saying that Obama has just put a new budget in for those that need assistance with their mortgage, whether you're behind on payments, underwater on the value or your interest is too high.
It asked me to press 1, which I did and it directed me to a guy that sounded like he was in his 20s.
He said he was with Real Estate House and Services and asked me how much I owe on my house, what its valued at, my first name and then my last name.
Once he asked for my last name I turned it around and asked him what company he works for.
He responded "Real Estate Hearts and Services, we're accredited by the BBB".
I then asked, "Do you have a website?" While I asked this I searched on the BBB website and the name isn't listed.
He responded, "Yes, it's mortgageservices.com"
So then I said, okay, hold on one second, started typing it into google and he hung up on me.
I then googled mortgageservices.com which doesn't actually exist.
I guess I made him nervous.
Called twice within 2 minutes. No caller ID. I didn't answer it. A search on the internet shows the number is the fax # for Wells Fargo Advisers. Hope somebody just missent a fax, and it's not a sales call.
