I’ve never used the Do Not Call list because I figured the scummy companies would buy the list and use it as a calling list.

They buy the list.

It doesn't work anyway. I regularly added my cell phone and landline to it, but it never stopped the calls. It's just another government plan, paid by taxpayers, that didn't do what it was supposed to.

That seems to be just why is happening! Except they likely do not need to buy it, and few are prosecuted for abuse.
