The reason my cell phone and house phone numbers are listed on "Do Not Call' is to stop such telemarketing calls, but 'Do Not Call' does not seem to be working. Am continuing to get several telemarketing calls and text messages offering cash or stating my credit card is in good standing or some language to that effect, but we'd like to offer . . etc. Have yet to wait and hear their whole spcheel. Still, it is annoying and it costs me for their calls and text messages on my Go-Phone. Maddening to say the least!
OMG! The worst thing I ever did was register my numbers on the Do Not Call List! Ever since, I have been bombarded daily with calls from places like this. I never answer phone calls from unrecognized numbers, wait for a voicemail so I can screen, so when one is not left, I know trouble is on the other end of the line. I never received annoying calls before I lost my mind and used that failure of a service, Do Not Call Registry! Now all the idiots have a big old list of numbers to use for terrorizing the citizens of our country and we gave it to them, when we signed up for the DNCL!
If this is really to lower credit card rates then it's really hilarious to me since I don't have a single credit card in my name. But, as with all, didn't answer and no voice mail left.
Thinking to buy a hunting dog whistle based on a catalog description:
Hunting Dog Training Whistle is the answer. Uses the Pealess Clear Competition whistle for a high, shrill, penetrating tone ...
The do not call list seems to be a waste. But the sad news: as long as these tactics work and pay off they will keep on calling. If they had absolutely no success with these calls, they wouldn't make them.
