Yes it just boggles my mind that they passed that law and there are actually people not obeying it. That is so unusual, a law that some people obey and some don't. I guess maybe we need to classify these new types of people, maybe we could call them "lawbreakers"? Or even criminals? We would need to go out and hire somebody to catch these people, maybe we could call them "police" and then bring them before someone called a "judge" who will send them to this newly made facility called a "prison". It just so terrible that these types of people have just suddenly sprung up since the laws were obeyed so well up until this point that we never needed "police", "judges", or "prisons".. What is this world coming to?
To fight these scum you have to take action yourself.....the do not call list is a joke (the FCC and congressional politicians have proven to be lapdogs for big business telemarketers and is now moving to give them and big media priority fast lane access to the internet.....the FCC chairman is (surprise) a former telecom lobbyist. If you do not have a call blocking feature (or run out of space), do yourself a favor and get a call blocker, and just plug it in to your phone line.....it will be the best money you ever spent.....lots of them out there, check Amazon,Google and Fleabay. I got a device called Pro Call Blocker last year and it only costs around $50. It stores up to 1500 or so numbers and uses caller ID. Just scroll thru the incoming call list and hit the blacklist button for the spam ones and presto, no more calls from this number (you can also manually enter numbers to block, entire area codes or all out of area numbers). It logs all calls in or out. If you get this one, be sure to get the latest version (last I looked it was 2.2). There is also another similar device called T-lock blocker which looks similar and came out late last year. Phone line is pretty quiet now as there are no repeat calls (although a lot of these spammers have multiple numbers so you have to block each one as they come in). Lots and lots of others out there that may work better or are cheaper, so get yourself a device and post back a review of its effectiveness to help the rest of the anti-spam community here and other sites.........
