I've received such calls unwanted on my two cell phones and home phone for the past ten years. During this time all my numbers have been registered on the FTC Do Not Call Registry and have been reported to them via their web site. If anyone has ever filed an on line complaint you can see how stupid the questions are. They ask that we provided the name of the company who has called. How would I know that for sure since they are calling from a bogus number that's been disconnected or does not exist. They ask if you've told the company to stop calling. How in the world could anyone do this since most of the calls are recorded messages, bot calls or hang up calls. And even if you were to "play along" and op to speak with an operator the minute you start asking legitimate questions about the source of the call they will hang up and place your number on another list to receive many more unwanted calls. I also sense that some of the overseas "call centers" and collecting data from US citizens for other reasons, yet the "FTC" and not Homeland Security or the DOJ are investigating. Why? I've asked the FTC for feedback as to what if any action they have taken or plan to take but they never respond. The only response from them is when I filed a FOIA request for all the previous complaints I've filed with them and in some cases they will charge you the victim a fee to retrieve your own information. According to the FTC web site they have sued some violators and collected large fines that only go to back to the government and NOT the victims. I wonder what the budget is for the office that handles the Do Not Call Registry? I would urge all victims to contact your congressional leaders to seek compensation for victims and improve the way the FTC does business and treats victims. If the government is unwilling to compensate victims then why have a law on the books and pay a bunch of FTC workers to waist their time. It seems to be a good thing for the FTC to allow such unwanted calls to continue that in turn generates more victims and complaints for keeping FTC workers employed. A second option for the government to help victims would be to release the information to the victims of companies who have called their number in violation of the law so the victim can then take civil action against the company. Why won't the FTC help a victims of a law they helped create?
