Whatever you do, DON'T give them your credit card number. These are criminals,
they aren't going to care about the 'Do Not Call' list. If you want to waste their
time, give them a false name and address (slowly) then insult them and their
ancestors back to cave men.....(don't threaten)....
>> The Do Not Call List is a joke. Waste of Taxpayer Money. <<
Incorrect.
However, it is evident that your understanding of the DNC list is sadly lacking.
The DNC list does not automatically block calls. Instead, it provides a list of "do not call" phone numbers to legitimate telemarketers who pay a fee for the list.
The DNC list exempts political callers, survey organizations, charities and companies with preexisting business relationships, but these organizations might have their own, internal Do Not Call list (ask them).
The DNC list is not effective against criminals, spammers and scammers, because those people do not subscribe to the DNC list, and do not care if you are on or off that list.
Its purpose is to stop calls from legitimate telemarketers, and it does a pretty good job at that.

Now, the quiz:
* Do you understand the meaning of the word "legitimate"?
