nonfcomm Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I found out that the government is actually doing something good for a change!!! There is now a national list you can register for to make it illegal for telemarketers to call you. It is profoundly named the Federal Do-Not-Call list. Here is the link: Don\'t stinking call me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hariseldon Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Wow such a good measure. Are you positively sure that the numbers won't end up in the directory of a telemarketer overseas? Anyway I hope we get something like that in Europe soon. I usually get salesmen ringing my doorbell rather than my phone. I'll wait for the do not knock at naptime list!!!!!!!!

NMcGuitar Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Apparently the day they opened the web site (www.donotcall.org) they averaged 158 registrations per second for the whole day!

Dave da Dude Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 BUT, you've still got plenty of time to register. It doesn't take effect until October sometime, and you can always register after that date. BTW, http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/donotcall/index.html gets you there. Dave Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMcGuitar Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Yeah, Dak , there is definitely irony there (or at least poetic justice). May all your thoughts be random! - Neil www.McFaddenArts.com www.MikesGarageRocks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I wouldn't mind getting occasional telemarketing calls from AT&T. I usually get people wanting to sell me a MORTGAGE! Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
