Received a call yesterday from this telephone number. No message was left.  Anonymous callback reached a synthesized male voice that gave a generic telemarketer greeting.

I do not list my phone on any site. I don't do surveys, contests or lotteries. Only close friends and family know my number. However, they find me anyway. Don't answer numbers I don't recognize and turned off my answering machine years ago but these calls keep coming. Blocked. Sick of this crap. I'm ready to lose the landline.

Colon lickers are at it again. They never stop with these phony numbers.

Same "save on your energy bill" scam message we have received on different (now blocked) numbers in the past ... grrr.

You do not understand how the DO not call registry works. LEGITIMATE companies subscribe to the list and prevent their employees from contacting people on the list so that the Company does not get slapped with escalating fines. Scam artists do not care about the Do not call registry and use spoofed numbers so it is difficult for them to get caught. The Do not call registry does not block your number from being dialed.
