Don't put your number on the Do Not Call List! It will do nothing to stop unwanted calls. Companies can simply buy your phone number off the DNC list and continue to harass you.
I looked on another site (pimlot.com) and one caller managed to get the company name - Choice Warranty - from St. Louis. Yeah, sure, I'll believe that. The telemarketing scam uses Caller ID spoofing, hence all the (416) 000-XXXX numbers. The scam does have a drawback for the scammers however (and this must be figured out by someone smarter than me) is the fact that you press "1" to connect. Figure out what number the call connects to and you get the city or origin and that's a start for law enforcment people. Caller ID spoofing only works one way. Hope this gets people thinking...
I would love very much to know how to stop this company from calling. They hit my cellphone almost daily; I can see the phone number when they call so I don't have to pick up but they use up my voice mail. Any way to stop them would be appreciated.
And don't use the Canadian Do Not Call List. Apparently the list is available for sale to... call centres.
