Called on my office number. He wanted to sell remodeling services. I said this was my business line. He said he didn't understand what I'd said. I said THIS IS MY OFFICE. He said I'll come over there and put a hose down your throat if you scream at me like that again. I hung up.
received calls in two days. The first guy asked for my husband and I said he was not home and offered to take a message he hung up. Today a guy identifying himself as Tom Coleman with Security Builders said they were going to be in my neighborhood. I told him we moved to San Diego. Then blocked the number.
We have received multiple calls from this number. I purchased a call blocker unit that attaches to the phone and presto! no more calls. I love, love, love blocking calls. The Do not Call Registry DOES NOT WORK, it's a joke. Buy a call blocker unit.

Exactly how is the DNC list a joke?
Legitimte 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 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?
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.
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.
