sounds like a call center, survey

This is the sales and marketing department of the Richmond Times Dispatch newspaper (World Media on phone ID) which has apparently now decided that violating "Do Not Call" is okay since the government does nothing.  After receiving several calls despite no prior relationship, I have reported them.

Silly messages left on my phone.

Some people have a lot of time on their hands.  Do not pick-up your telephone.

Calls incessantly, according to my call blocker. Even tho they aren't able to make my phone ring! Nuts, huh? I have a new number and have registered it on the Do Not Call list, so I'm sure that after 30 days, no more telemarketers will be calling me, right? What??? You mean the DNC list doesn't stop these calls? I'm shocked,, and shall consider moving back to the former Soviet Union in protest!!!
