Unsolicited and unwanted call saying I had won a vacation. Selected option to talk to operator so I could get the name of the company so I can file a complaint with my state's attorney general. Federal DNC cannot be accessed at this time due to government shutdown. My state's AG actually does act on these reports.
I got call from this number on Oct 14th, 09:30 AM, didn't answer the call as TrueCaller App on my cell showed that this could be Spam call and it was. I recommend everyone to get TrueCaller and next time you get call from some random companies or annoying people, just add them to Spam list and you don't have to worry about them again.
Not trying to advertise anything or anyone it's just my experience. Try it!
Actually you're close but not quite. The "Do Not Call Registry" is just a name only. It is just a list and the updating and maintenance that is operated within and by the FTC. The Registry was conceived, created, and intended for the purpose of reducing the number of actual business Telemarketing calls to people who did not wish to receive them. Only Legitimate and Registered with the FTC Businesses are required and allowed to purchase the list and its updates. Only those business who are Registered are enforced under the DNC Registry. It is not a law enforcement tool. Legitimate businesses who violate it are easily found and fined by simply pulling their file or picking up a phone book. Scammers, fly-by-nights, con artists, and all other scofflaws are pursued and prosecuted by the actual FTC, FCCs, FBI or whoever is working that side of the street. It is almost impossible physically and financially for them to find, gather evidence, and build a prosecutable case. The DNC is just a name and a list, as was intended when created.
