I, too, am getting these sales calls from many vendors and am tired of it.
I've been signed up to all the do not call lists, but that doesn't help.
I just bought a little "telezapper" thing, that's supposed to kill the ability
for the rotating canvassing machines to get a signal that says my phone
has been disconnected ... THAT SHOULD STOP 'EM!!!
At least I hope it helps. I hate that I have to pay for phone service for
TELEMARKETERS to harrass me! AND they fill up my answering
machine so that my legitimate calls never have space to leave me a
real message.
Am paying now, for a cell phone, so my friends CAN reach me. The
first 10 text messages I got were from 1) Michelle Obama wanting me to
vote for her husband (really, the first one!!), 2) donation requests, 3) carpet
cleaning, 4) investment requests, 5) political surveys, 6) credit card solicitations,
7)-10) and several who never leave a message so I don't know who they are.
The FCC should DO something with TEETH in it to stop these calls.
....there...that's MY 2 cents' worth!
