Just got 2 calls within minutes of each other. The very first one I got a few months ago was right after my husband was released from rehab after a very serious accident. Prepaid, etc, but couldn't tell me who paid for it. Only took a minute to turn them down. Now I just don't answer.
Just think, if the DO Not Call Registry cannot stop spammers, malicious scammers, or just corporate telemarketers with all of the power of the US Federal Government---just think of how effective the government is controlling 1/7 of the entire US economy! They couldn't control, the House Bank, US Postal scandal in Capitol building, selling favors to special interests groups, House Barbershop, gym, and Capitol Restaurant and a President that can not control spending and others ad infinitum.
As any corporate or institutional agency grows too large, they become more corrupt and unable to control any specific thing that they do. In Economics it is called the ';Law of Deminishing Returns' and our government has exceded this principle several times over and now control ANYTHING they do.
