Does this apply to cell #'s? because getting some pretty intricate bullshit lately.

Todays was the 'hello......<intentional static> Hello...Oh hi, this is Lisa..and are you aware of...blah blah blah...click"

Now I am getting calls from a fucking 3 digit number. WTF!!!!!! An area code is now doing the tellemarketing!! Apparently the only way to block this is to make it a contact and then block it.

That list is bullshit. If you have done business with somebody, they can call you, list be damned. I'm on the list, and I get calls.

Make sure you're on the list. I think you have to re-up every so often.

I do, and I still get calls. If the call is from an 800 number, or an area code I don't recognize, I just ignore the call.

Whenever I get a telemarketer who asks if he/she can ask me a question, I always say "certainly, can I ask you a question first? What are you wearing right now?" If they are game, I will then say "can you repeat that slowly". It rarely goes beyond that and we both get a good laugh out of it.

A guy signed me up for the 10 year autopay plan for the Do Not Call List. It's pretty reasonable, and convenient.

I don't know what has happened over the past few months but I've gotten a lot of these calls. Since I always answer my phone it can be pretty annoying.

from the number of calls I get, I'd hate to find out what would happen if I *had not* put my number on the list.

The list was pointless from the get-go .... someone calls with a fakey number (90+% of the time) and you are on 'the list' ... so what? Who called you? Where are they? You don't know, they don't care.

It does cut down on the "legit" (so to speak) calls one used to get (credit card offers, insurance quote offers, etc.) but beyond that, there's really nothing to be done about it.

Are you telling me that all the free vacation calls and exciting opportunity calls I get aren't legit?

This guy with the realest beard I ever saw set another guy wrapped in tin foil on fire at the costume ball, and Alan Thicke made an awesome joke at their expense. He's gotta be the funniest man alive. Let's get back to the sucky fair, Silent Bob.

I have me and my son on the list and we never get calls. You have to update it every 2 years.
