This was poor Stacy, from Rand Education, calling to put me in touch with (likely very shady...) universities to further my education. Apparently, they got my number from an illegally-operating telemarketer, calling randomly in violation of the National Do-Not-Call Registry. I answered all of her questions, giving mostly completely bogus information and she said she would have 2 "universities" (I'd never heard of either...) contact me. Just before she hung up, I explained that she had been PUNKED because her employer was using NDNCR-violating aggregators to receive potential sales leads.I requested that the "recorded" (at least she said it was...) conversation be passed up the line to whoever made the decision to use the aggregators. I also requested that they review the strictures of the NDNCR. Kids, if we're gonna' stop this crap, we're gonna have to ENGAGE...
