Called this afternoon - did not answer and they left no message. It's nice to see other people posting here so we can avoid harassing calls or scammers.
Let's pose parallel questions. Stand by the shoulder of your nearest highway and shout, "Why is the speed limit sign NOT WORKING????!!???!!!????!" Watch someone light a cigarette and screech in her face, "Why is the cancer warning on the package NOT WORKING???!!!?????!!??!?????"
You wouldn't scream those things because they sound absurd. Highway signage cannot uproot and walk out into traffic. Paper packaging cannot swat the cigarette from one's hand. A phone number printed on a list cannot block, deflect, or destroy phone calls to that number. A speeder *makes a choice* to risk a police stop. A smoker *makes a choice* to risk terminal disease. An illegal telemarketer *makes a choice* to ignore the opt-out notice we give through a no-call registry.
Honest companies which value your business obey the Telemarketing Sales Rule and the TCPA and insist that their hired call centers scrub their dialers for DNC-registered numbers. Thieves and scammers don't care about laws or your rights, hiding behind cheap VOIP accounts and spoofed numbers. Those very tools which enable the lawbreaker's concealment also frustrate its prosecution. Many have been nailed by the FTC, attorneys general, and private citizens in the past five years. Others are like catching smoke in a milk jug.
The nature and scope of the US Do-Not-Call registry was never kept secret. Here is the FTC FAQ page which the DNC site repeatedly invited you all to read before you registered your numbers.
