Thanks, I think these are a great ideas. There might be a problem if you only get a recording requesting your name and phone number. I leave my senator's (2) office phone number and name as well as my congressional representative's phone number. Remember they are the ones that wrote the telemarketing law without teeth so let them suffer as we have. If they are bothered enough maybe they will do their job.
t...don't pick up the phone! And definitely don't press 1 or anything else to be taken off their list. It won't work. All you are doing is proving to them that your number is valid. They will keep calling, from a variety of numbers.
Terrific! I hope you post this advice for all the telemarketing numbers. In addition, that lawsuit can earn you $1500. That's the compensation you get for the telemarketer ignoring the DNC list.
