/Why are we still getting these 'anonymous' or 'soliciting' calls when we are on the DO NOT CALL registry???? Can anyone explain to me why they are allowed to call?
Got a call from this number. When I answered the line was silent then went dead. Tried calling back, it doesn't ring. It is just a long silence, then a computerized voice says "Goodbye."

Perhaps because they are not selling goods or services and only sales calls are covered? Besides, who ever heard of scammers and con artists obeying laws and the DNC is just that, a law that legit companies obey. Enforcement happens against violators only after thousands of complaints have been received and then only if the complaints are valid. Far too many complaints are invalid and the government at any level does not have the resources to investigate each and every individual complaint. The monthly taxes on your phone alone would be 100s of dollars to fully fund the agencies to investigate every complaint and find the few valid ones among all the invalid complaints.
