>>  I'm on the do not call list - doesn't that mean anything?????  <<

Educational Attempt Number  

Fact: The Do Not Call list is NOT a call blocker!
The DNC list is a LIST, subscribed to / purchased by legitimate telemarketers, so they know who not to call. The FCC does not give away the list!

Fact: Telephone numbers on the Registry don’t expire.  You do NOT have to re-register annually.

Fact: Scammers and spammers ignore the DNC list .
Many use "war dialers" to quickly dial phone numbers.  After all, phone numbers are just numbers, and are no secret!  (Arabic numbers were invented about 500 AD, so even stupid scammers know about them by now).

Fact: The DNC list does not apply to NON-sales calls , such as political calls, charities, surveys, debt collectors and businesses with which you have done business with during the previous 18 months.

Fact:  Spam callers can be blocked by getting a real call blocker .
 Google (or your favorite search engine) is your friend.

I get 2 calls a day from this number and an automated voice tells me my cars warranty is about to run out....I hang up at that point. today they called and 10 seconds in they said nothing and hung up??? What a pain!!!!

cell phone,didn't answer, voice mail, auto warranty is expiring. another scum ball scam.

I have recieved multiple phone calls saying my vehicle extended warrenty is about to expire but have never had extend warr.  Have asked to have name removed but they hung up before I could finish sentence.
