| National Do not call list and spam fax
Need some help here. My home business has been registered on the national do not call list since 2009. Yet we receive even MORE junk fax messages from telemarketers.
Is there another list that I am not aware of that I should be on? Or is there another method of preventing these telemarketers from sending these faxes?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the dnc list is only legislated to canadian telemarketers right? Don't think we can stop indian microsoft scammers. Posted via RS Mobile | |

We were all trolled by that list.
Wasn't it realized that the DNC List was available online for telemarketers to make sure they do not call these individuals.
That means overseas telemarketers have a list of all these numbers and no laws to conform to.
Essentially...Those who gave into the DNC List let more Telemarketers privy to their numbers.

I heard that it's possible to fucking BUY portions of the list. I guess those fucks overseas don't care, and it's a dead giveaway if you try to call my house using a 888 number, and if I pick it up, the BACKGROUND noise is louder than you.

I used to work at a call center. If you're a dick and get all angry at them when you tell them not to call. They will only put you on the re-dial or callback list for a certain amount of time forwards. Kindly pick up the phone and tell them to put you on the do not call list. The guy/girl on the other side of the line simply needs to click a simple button to take you off.
