I've been on the "No Call List" for 5 yrs and I'm receiving telemarketing calls, like crazy, again.

Soooooo, I re-registered my numbers. I suggest all of you to do the same. They say you don't have to, but apparently the statute of limitations ran out or something..

I'm also receiving a bunch of calls from McCaine and OBama, but I guess we can't do anything about those..

Just Google: No Call List.

OOOPS! Sorry Sal~ Didn't know I wasn't supposed to write your number on the bathroom wall down at the Dew Drop Inn!

No, no...Sal likes those calls!

I once had the same number as a radio station except the station was
in CT. People were always calling requesting songs to be played. After
awhile, I got so sick of it they would call and "Can I hear "Ice Ice baby?"
...."you Bet, you are next." ......ugh, I finally got my number changed
cuz I grew bored of the game.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming....thanks sal.

When I moved recently I took a brand new telephone number. I made sure it was a brand new number, after the last I had. Goodness. It was an ex-business number, and the telemarketer calls were NON STOP. Multiple times an evening. Not to mention 7 years of having that number, I was still getting calls for the business that no longer used the number, and the people calling would actually argue with me that I was not the business and it was a residential number! AND ask me for the business's current phone number (which I never had).

be sure to register your cell phone number too.

This reminds me of something that happened when our once small town added a new prefix to our telephone numbers. A regional tire chain opened for business and the last 4 digits of their fax number was the same as mine, except they had the new prefix. I'd had the number for almost 8 years and it was my business number as well as my fax number.

They had this number printed on all their new promotional material, corporate hq had the number, well you get the picture. We were inundated with faxes. Not only their corporate information, daily and weekly financial reports, internal information, but customer credit applications. I would call their office and ask them to please change their information.

This went on for about 3 months. I had to turn the phone OFF at night. I ran out of paper. I would pick up the phone and hang it up again. I turned OFF the fax and just left the phone on so no incoming faxes could be received. At the end of the week, I would take all the faxes to the manager and put them on his desk and explain to him that this was a violation of his customer's privacy.

He just didn't get it. He had the audacity to ask ME to change MY number. I refused. I called his boss. Explained to him that would start calling the customers whose information I had and explain to them that this regional tire chain was violating their privacy.

The phone number got changed the next day! They never did reimbursement for the paper or even offer services or anything in exchange for the inconvenience. Trust me, I don't refer anyone to this tire chain.

I knew more about that store than the manager and the bookkeeper did.

About 2 years later, I started getting the calls again. New bookkeeper. They stopped after a week and a visit from me with a pile of faxes.

i recall hearing the do not call list was only good for 5 yrs at a time, what blows my mind i too have been on for a couple years, but i get calls from politicians running for office whats up with that

non profits are exempt.
