I didn't catch who it was from because their recording started speaking during the outgoing message. All I heard was something about 'call now to lower your interest rate' and 'press 3 to discontinue these call'. Maybe I should record a stream of presses on #3 in the outgoing message.<BR/><BR/>We do still get the occasional 000-000-0000 call as well, which we never answer.Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07227033429658530651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460414571294901976.post-65716494723171953892008-10-30T17:13:00.000-04:002008-10-30T17:13:00.000-04:00You're lucky. 99% of the telemarketing calls we get are from the US, so we're not going to be lucky with the DNC list. "This is your captain speaking" or the generic "we;ll get your better interest rates on your credit card" pre-recorded phone spam are the type of calls we get, originating from US area codes. Unfortunately the DNC list does not apply to US telemarketers, as there's no jurisdiction. One of the biggest pissers is that there's no way to talk to a live person other than calling a long distance number. These are just recordings.Luc Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03887239923982654452noreply@blogger.com
