Since the no-call list has been implemented in Texas, the vacation/retirement timeshare promoters have resorted to "referral" scams, calling me and claiming that someone gave me their name. When I press them for the details, it's someone I've never heard of.

So, complain to someone who cares. I don't. As far as I'm concerned, the world would be better off without telemarketing, anyway.

The only thing that the FTC would have to do differently to remove my objections would be to provide a free single number lookup service on their website. If a small business person needed to initiate a phone call to someone, they could then just check the number first, and then proceed to make the call. It would cost the small business nothing to comply with the law, and those that did not want to even receive an occasional call from a small business would be "protected."

I fail to see what is unreasonable about such an expectation.
