That DO NOT CALL list thing is no different from any other gubmit horsehockey program. Pestering peddlers call without any regard for the “list”. The list is no different from TSA, its just to make you think the gubmit is looking out for you while they let the bad guys walk right by.
Go to the trouble to tell the caller you are on the no call list and they just laugh.
Submit a complaint against one of these pests and apparently it goes to the round file as the calls still keep coming.
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”.
The NSA can record every call in the world, and yet they still can’t figure out who “Rachel” is.
