The reason to be on the do not call list, is so that you have a valid complaint with standing.
When enough complaints come in for a particular caller, sanctions (fines) will be applied. And they are getting jail time.
For those out of the country, Trunk line restriction and other actions can be taken, but you all need to keep up the pressure by turning in the complaint t DNC. I know it can seem like a pain in the rear, but many have been charged and the robo's are way down since years ago. There is always going to be an [***] out there, KEEP REPORTING.
Also an attempt to pull AT&T and others like them into court for aiding this federal law breaking may have to be worked at. A class action with all the reporting on this web and DNC will be of substantial weight.
Keep up the fight for those who are abused, it may save one of your own family without you knowing.
I finally got a person from this Scam-fest one day and pressed the #3 choice to stop receiving calls. It worked for about two - four weeks. Only rang two times and hung up. Maybe they saw the notation on their screen that I wasn't interested.
You'd think they'd look at that first? These twits are paid on commission. So they keep trying. Guess they would rather scam people than get an honest job.
DNC list do not work for dishonest businesses. I don't have the inclination to play with them. Sometimes I pick up and say nothing to see when they will hang up. Any just state and city in the ID is probably a bogus call.
That is funny. These dooshbags are too stupid to know that they are the laughing stock of America. They are outright lying crooks and theives and deserve nothing including respect. Sometimes I keep them on the line for a long time and then at the very end I call them out for the scumbags and failures that they are. I told one idiot that he is a big failure and that his life is over he will never ever amount to anything. I told him he has tarnished his families honor and that he should be ashamed very very ashamed. The idiot began to Cry. LOL
