Number shows on machine as Service Call ! Rang over 15 times till I lifted the phone and hung up. SCAMMERS ! I'm in Canada so there is no way a company in Oregon is going to really install a security system here !

I trouble with the Do Not Call List is they give it out companies who supposedly want to use it to remove those people from their call lists but use it as lead sheet because they think a lot of people put they're names on the list 'cause they are easily scammed.

Established my new phone# just weeks ago and the only calls I receive are telemarketing for security systems or debt collection. Been receiving calls from Caller ID: Gresham OR. They call from multiple #s and leave the same recorded mssg offering to install security system at no cost to you...press "1" for more info or "9" to be removed from their list. Just a generic mssg, no company name given. I finally decided to answer the call so I could press "9". I also decided to get on the "Do Not Call" list today - was hesitant bc I've read that your number will only get added to a "to-delete" file which is provided to the telemarketers (who are supposed to abide by the Do Not Call rules) and may or may not be followed through on by the telemarketers who receive the list and basically just gives them your number a second time on a different list. Not sure how true this is but thought it was time to take my chances. Per the Do Not Call recorded mssg: calls should decrease over the next 30 days and if in 31 days I still receive calls from the same offenders, to file a complaint by calling the same #.

the
DO NOT CALL List only works on Canadian phone numbers.  Many scammers, telemarketers are able to re route their calls through the states by passing the do not call list.

we need to lobby the govt to expand the do not call list to include all phone numbers, including those from the states, newspapers, charities, and political parties.  
I just don't bother answering my phone anymore,  if I don't know the number I don't answer.  
I refuse to get worked up over it....not worth it...

Only CROOKS violate the DNC list.  Legitimate telemarketers will honor it and not call you.  So when you're on the list and get a call, you know it's from a CROOK!  DON'T ANSWER IT or just HANG UP!  Who wants to talk with a crook?
