According to the non-answer I got when I questioned my US Senator, apparently forever. My solution?
I bought a 'call blocker'. Search with Google, and you'll find one that is suitable to truly handle this constant badgering by phone that the government passes laws to stop, and then does nothing to do so.
I told the lady my number was on the dnc list and asked how she got a hold of me and she hung up. The fine for calling a dnc is $11000 per cal. This is the second call but I can't report it because I have no idea who they are!
Received this call tonight with caller ID as "Incoming Call" and didn't pick up. Have been receiving so many telemarketing calls, it's leading me to drink! Appreciate the posts to know who is on the other line so as to not pick it up the next time they call. Thx.
They just called me, I didn't answer and they left a message, it was something about interest rates. telling me since i'm making minimum payments (i'm not paying anyone anything) so obviously they bought my number from some1.
i feel the same way. that's why i tell ppl, if they call me and i don't answer either leave a message or text me, because if i don't have their number I'M NOT PICKING UP
