Default Do Not Call list is a joke....

I am so angry at the companies who call our houses, we get up, walk in to answer the phone and they hang up. I am guessing that is a computer checking to see if we are home so the human can call back the next night. I was laying down, using my Ventilator and on oxygen, thanks to all the California fires.

It was the California PAL. I finally had a number. I emailed them to leave me alone, I would not give them a dime.

I am trying to figure out where to start filing complaints. Who is the PAL that they think it is ok to pester people?

I will contact the Calif. Attorney General tomorrow, maybe they know the best place to call to see if we can't do something about it. Or maybe the PAL is not legally supposed to just call the next number on the list. I am astounded these people think harassing someone is going to get them a donation. Especially when the kids in PAL get less than half the money collected. Here is their ratings compared to real charities:

Charity Name Overall Score
California Police Activities League - CA 25.31
National 4-H Council - MD 62.55
Boy Scouts of America, Central Florida Council - FL 68.62
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale - AZ 60.60

Do any of you know of a place we can call to be completely removed from all junk calls?

Or is it legal for a company to use a computer to dial every number in the USA?
