I'm a victim of these non-stop, on-going intrusions FROM THIS AND NUMEROUS OTHER NUMBERS TOO. Both my landline and cell have been on the Do Not Call list for years and renewed frequently too. I have been reporting endlessly to my carrier for both of my numbers (both the same carrier). I've exceeded blue and am moving toward a bright shade of anger red in my face as the calls keep coming in and it's not my carriers fault but I need their assistance somehow. I have even contact the media such as the news magazine and investigative reporters to look into this. I was thinking of writing a column on Newser as with my account on Newser, the public is allowed to compose newsworthy articles for posting purposes. I just can't be fighting alone though. I'm also informed by the FCC that I could be rewarded $1,500 per incident reported (see below). Who has the time to document all of this stuff? Please see the FCC's letter to me copied for you to see below. Feel free to use it's insight and copy and paste it as desired. Perhaps if half the planet were to speak up, then we MIGHT get this on-going nuisance to stop finally.

Dear Consumer:
Re: Case # xxxxxxxx
Thank you for contacting the FCC regarding possible violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) and the Commission’s telemarketing and junk fax rules. Information provided in consumer complaints like yours helps the Commission to combat abusive or unlawful practices in these areas, including taking enforcement actions against individuals or companies. In this regard, the Communications Act authorizes the Commission to issue citations and, in some cases, impose substantial fines upon entities that violate telemarketing and junk fax rules.
Although the Commission does not resolve individual complaints, each complaint is individually analyzed and assists us in enforcement actions to protect consumers like yourself. You should be aware that the TCPA also provides for enforcement of the telemarketing and junk fax rules by state attorneys general and by individual consumers. With respect to the latter, the TCPA permits individuals who have received certain unlawful telemarketing, such as junk faxes or telemarketing calls, to sue the violator in state courts where they may be awarded up to $1500 for each violation.
We invite you to visit the FCC’s Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau’s Internet web site at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb for more information. You may also call the FCC’s Consumer Center toll free at 1-888-CALL-FCC [1-888-225-5322], TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC [1-888-835-5322].
Sincerely,
Sharon C. Bowers, Division Chief
