Not really understanding the source of your ire, but you may want to check your facts. According to the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations at ecfr.gov Title 47, Part 64, §64.1200 Delivery restrictions:
"(6) Maintenance of do-not-call lists. A person or entity making calls for telemarketing purposes must maintain a record of a consumer's request not to receive further telemarketing calls. A do-not-call request must be honored for 5 years from the time the request is made."
>> the Do Not Call Registry is a big joke. I worked for a company years ago and they never put anybody on the Do Not Call list when they were asked <<
Um ...
COMPANIES do not put people on the Federal or State Do Not Call Registries, the individual phone owners do.
Write the above sentence 100 times on your keyboard.
>> the Do Not Call Registry is a big joke. <<
Given the fact that you do not know about the Federal or State DNC registries, I think you are not qualified to make that statement.
Exactly how is the DNC list a joke?
Legitimate telemarketers use it to prevent calls to registrants. Just think - if there were no such list, you would be getting calls from BOTH legitimate and scam "telemarketers".
The DNC list does not apply to charities, political calls, surveys, debt collectors or companies with which you did business in the last 18 months.
The DNC list is ignored by spammers and scammers, and those criminals usually use VOIP or burner phones, and cannot be easily traced. Kristi Thompson of the FCC explained that it can take her anywhere from five to ten subpoenas to trace a single robocall back to its origin
Is there ANY law that is 100% effective in preventing criminals from disobeying it?
The FTC penalizes organizations located in the USA that violate DNC provisions, but only if those organizations are identified! Have you done your part to identify your callers?
The DNC organization does not sell its list to non-registered telemarketers.
All this information, and more, is available on the DNC site, for those who have the cerebral capacity to read and understand. Apparently you do not qualify, but prefer to mislabel things that you do not understand.
If you want more protection than provided by the DNC list, get a call blocker app, device, or service, and learn how to use it correctly. Try a little self-responsibility!
the number 469 4581 2004 keep calling my phone number saying that he's with the Us Pharmancy I believe it is the same guy calling me every time I've had 17 different numbers from this pharmacy call me and they have been cursing at me and they threaten me a couple times. I have asked them to put me on the Do Not Call list if they fail to respond and hang up on me.
Same number called me multiple times today. They will continue to call even after you ask to be put on a do not call list. I'm going to block the number with my cell phone provider.
