>> Why am I getting these on my cell phone which is covered by the Do Not Call program. <<
The DNC list does not possess a magic switch that can stop calls from bothersome/unwanted callers. However, YOU do!
Yes, indeed - every modern phone (both landline and cell) has a cunningly placed, magic switch that can cut off those nasty calls. Here are some ways you can use it:
Technique #1, requires NO action on your part, automatically switches the call:
* If you have Caller ID (CID), and see a number you do not recognize, or think it might belong to a telespammer, DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. Instead, let the call go to your answering machine or voicemail.
Technique #2, for those people who MUST pick up the phone:
* If you hear a telescammer, immediately hang up. Activate that "magic" OFF switch manually!
But wait ... there is more! If you pay attention for the next minute (or longer, if you are a slow reader), you can get your very own AUTOMATIC switch that will block calls from those nasty folks. That's right, it will block ALL calls from the numbers YOU designate, for only pennies (or less) per week!
And, here it is ... simply google "phone blocker". You will soon see a list of phone blocking apps, devices, and telephones that provide the "magic switch" for which you were wishing!
Google "phone blocker" right now, and end your dependence on a misunderstood Government Do Not Call list. Create YOUR OWN Do Not Call list, and rely on your own ability to identify those telescum who bother you. Then, next time you get a repeated call from a telescammer, you can blame yourself for not blocking that number the first time it called.
You say you are not satisfied? You want more for your money? You think a FREE app is too expensive? Well, for a limited time, you can google "call blocker" and see if there is any difference between that search and the one you used for "phone blocker". All it costs is a few keypresses, and should keep you happily occupied for an indeterminate time, as you read about all the devices and apps you have been missing.
Advanced users of this magic switch should recognize the Federal Do Not Call list is effective only for legitimate telemarketers. Telespammers ignore the list, just as criminals ignore the law. However, those telescum cannot ignore YOUR list, since you can block ANY incoming call with a simple button push! Get your daily exercise by pressing that button. Burn calories, strengthen your fingers! Be more powerful than the misunderstood Federal DNC list!
Tell your friends and neighbors about this "magic switch". Share numbers. Make more friends and influence people. You too can be the life of the party line by blocking unwanted callers. Empower YOURSELF! Take control!
