It appears that the majority of people who think the Do Not Call list is a joke definitely have extreme difficulty understanding certain concepts requiring at least moderate cognitive capability.
Exactly how is the DNC list a joke?
Legitimate telemarketers use it to prevent calls to registrants. Just think - if there were no such list, you would be getting calls from BOTH legitimate and scam "telemarketers".
The DNC list is NOT a call blocker! If you thought it was, you are very much mistaken.
The DNC list does not apply to charities, political calls, surveys, debt collectors or companies with which you did business in the last 18 months.
The DNC list is ignored by spammers and scammers, and those criminals usually use VOIP or burner phones, and cannot be easily traced. Kristi Thompson of the FCC explained that it can take her anywhere from five to ten subpoenas to trace a single robocall back to its origin.
Is there ANY law that is 100% effective in preventing criminals from disobeying it? If a criminal disobeys a law, is that law a joke?
The FTC penalizes organizations located in the USA that violate DNC provisions, but only if those organizations are identified! Have you done your part to identify your callers?
The DNC organization does not sell its list to non-registered telemarketers. Spammers and scammers can get your number without obtaining the DNC list!
All this information, and more, is available on the DNC site, for those who have the cerebral capacity to read and understand. Apparently you do not qualify, but prefer to mislabel things that you do not understand.
If you want more protection than provided by the DNC list, get a call blocker app, device, or service, and learn how to use it correctly. Try a little self-responsibility!
On the other hand, you might merely be a troll in training, who thinks everything beyond their comprehension (or posted on the internet) is a joke.
Clue: The Do Not Call list has no effect on anyone that is not a legitimate business NOR cares about any such things.
In the words of my people: "uh duh! Get over yerself!"
Scam call.
Don't offer them any information about your company, your customers or yourself - unless you didn’t understand "uh duh!", in which case, this is all entirely beyond you anyways lol
