the do not call program is effin useless, more gov money being spent for nothing, u make me effin puke!!

I've made numerous complaints since 2005 regarding the National "DO NOT CALL LIST" to the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Communication Commission and the New Jersey Division Consumer Affairs STATE "DO NOT CALL LIST. They are a joke, they have no enforcement powers. Every day I receive calls on my house and cell phones. I never answer calls (numbers) that are not listed in my address book.

This is definitely a scam. They call all day, everyday from different #'s in all different states. There is this awesome FREE app called YouMail that you can use to stop these annoying calls. It lets you choose a custom message for specific callers to hear. such as, "the number you are trying to teach is no longer in service" "this caller does not accept calls from blocked #" and a bunch more. Check it out. I love it

Here's the solution.  I disconnect as soon as I see numbers that I don't know.  If it's someone that wants to speak with me they will leave a message.

Got a call yesterday from this number.  I was too sick to answer, but later looked at the caller's info.  I don't know anyone in the state of Maine, so I blocked this number on my iPhone.
