John(the worlds most annoying IDIOT) calls 3 or 4 times a day Told them did not order and not to call again. He said I would be taken off list. Guess what, phone called again 3o minutes later. IDIOTS, IDIOTS and first class scammers
We get this call every other day or so..Upon filing a complaint with Do Not Call Registry I found this site. From what I understand there is nothing that can be done to investigate and bring these people to prosecution? I FIND THAT ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS AS IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHERE EVERYONE'S PHONE CALLS ARE FLAGGED AND RECORDED THAT SOME GOVERNMENT AGENCY CAN'T FIND THESE PEOPLE AND DEAL WITH THEM!!
Kelly, these calls are coming from other countries, spoofing caller identification. The Do Not Call Registry has absolute no control over them. The job of trying to find, stop, build a case and prosecute them falls into much, much deeper waters than most can realize. We look upon them as harassing phone calls, but the Government has to deal with them on an international basis. Some of these calls come from countries who are uncooperative in such matters.
The Do Not Call Registry was never established as a law enforcement too. It is just a "List" of people who don't want Telemarketers to call. Legitimate Telemarketers are required to register with the FTC and purchase this list, and maintain it, in order to comply. It is $16K for each violation. None of the calls that we are getting in the form of harrassment is from Legitimate Registered Telemarketers. (The FTC definition for the purpose of the DNC defines Telemarketing as: Telephone sales of goods or services) As a result, Legitimate companies who Telemarket and violate are easily found, once complaints start flowing in, by simply opening their file or telephone books. Those clowns (thieves) who are attempting to scam us daily are crooks, fraudsters, and scofflaws mostly from other countries and untouchable without cooperation from other crooks and such.
They can easily be located but rarely prosecuted. I don't like it either, but just telling it the way it is........My biggest question is where are the Drone strikes when you need them....
I
