What can anyone do about jerks like this? We don't answer and they still don't get it about we don't want to talk to them. I tell other prank callers the same thing about reporting them and they still call...........
Charities, along with some Survey's and Political calls, are exempt from the DNC, however, the Charities and survey's can still get into trouble for not placing you on a internal DNC when asked, you can also check your states laws in regards. Some states do not allow them to call on their state DNC laws which can differ from the federal.
By State DNC lists:

For political calls:
What you need to do is tell them you do not want to receive their calls, and make sure you do a opt out with all the political parties. Then, if you receive calls, go that persons web site and under their contact us page, write them and tell them to place you on their internal dnc list and also there is a political do not call you can sign up for. I did and also tell them to use that list and give them the url for it. I have not gotten any calls for years now. Not even political survey's. So it does help to follow the steps.

The other thing that will help, if you have a cell phone, if it doesn't already have call blocking, there are free call blocking apps online you can get for some phones. If you have a land line, google call blocking devices. There are phones also available with call blocking but they do not hold as many numbers as devices do. Many of the devices run around 60.00
I got a recording, at least I think it was a recording. Said her name was Amanda and that she was doing a short political survey. I hung up at that point.
