Do Not Call works great for me. The minute that thing went into effect I went from multiple sales calls a day to none. Maybe every other week I get a charity call, and there was some research group that got obsessed with me for a while but they’ve finally taken the hint. During election season the self exempted politicians start hassling me, but things are quiet again. Overall I’ve found it pretty effective, though I know some folks who still get hassled a lot. Guess it’s another “your mileage may vary”.
Pre-nobama admin, it worked much better, hardly ever got any “illegal” calls.
Either the scammers know the current gubmit dumbasses are not going to enforce anything beside REPARATIONS or the no call list folks are taking payoffs. What the heck the lower down ones see the top raking in the dough, why shouldn’t they get while the gettins good?
