Quote: I'm on the 'Do Not Call' list which is a total joke.
It appears that the majority of people who think the Do Not Call list is "a total joke" definitely have extreme difficulty understanding certain concepts requiring at least moderate cognitive capability.
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 is NOT a call blocker! If you thought it was, you are very much mistaken.
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? If a criminal disobeys a law, is that law a joke?
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. Spammers and scammers can get your number without obtaining the DNC list!
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!
Got another call from these [***]. Have gotten 2 others in the past year, and every time I told them I was on the DNC list, and to take my number off their hit list. As soon as I told them that, they hung up. I files a complaint today, because I am sick and tired of their crap. Claimed to be a company called Credit Card Services, but I have no credit cards. They're only 200 miles from me, and if I find out an address for them, I will be making that trip. Found out that it is a VOIP number, so getting any info might be impossible. I hate those types of numbers, and wouldn't have one.
