rec'd call@ 18:44.  did not know who it was so let ring.  they hung up after 4 rings.

unwanted phone calls

I just received 4 phone calls in a row. The first 3 calls, they had no name or number available in the Caller ID.  Fourth time, they had name unavailable but revealed this phone number. I didn't recognize the number so, I didn't answer any of them and they left no message. Scam I am sure! DO NOT ANSWER!!!

Do not call is a joke!  There is not a day goes by that spammers or telemarketers do not  call - even Sunday.  Got call from 949-001-4521 today.  I do not ever answer calls from numbers not recognized and certainly not from any number that starts the caller name wth V and 15 ridiculous numbers following.  Who are these people?  Of course, no msg on answering mch.

It appears that the majority of people who think the DNCL is "a complete joke" may be of limited cerebral capacity, did not understand for what they signed up, and definitely have extreme difficulty associating cause and effect.

Exactly how is the DNC list a joke?

Legitimate telemarketers use it to prevent calls to registrants.  Just think - if there were no such list, you would be getting calls from BOTH legitimate and scam "telemarketers".

The DNC list is NOT a call blocker! If you thought it was, you are very much mistaken.

The DNC list does not apply to charities, political calls, surveys, debt collectors or companies with which you did business in the last 18 months.

The DNC list is ignored by spammers and scammers, and those criminals usually use VOIP or burner phones, and cannot be easily traced.  Kristi Thompson of the FCC explained that it can take her anywhere from five to ten subpoenas to trace a single robocall back to its origin

Is there ANY law that is 100% effective in preventing criminals from disobeying it?  If a criminal disobeys a law, is that law a joke?

The FTC penalizes organizations located in the USA that violate DNC provisions, but only if those organizations are identified!  Have you done your part to identify your callers?

The DNC organization does not sell its list to non-registered telemarketers.

All this information, and more, is available on the DNC site, for those who have the cerebral capacity to read and understand.  Apparently you do not qualify, but prefer to mislabel things that you do not understand.

If you want more protection than provided by the DNC list, get a call blocker app, device, or service, and learn how to use it correctly.  Try a little self-responsibility!
