Anyone ever try to use the "do not call list" report site?  Another waste of Govt money.  If I filled out the form for every bad call I get in a day, Id be filling it out all day...They want a half hour of form-filling to report one of these calls!  I came home from my weekend with no less then 7 of them.   I dont have a cell phone, do these calls happen in the mobile world too?  Maybe its time to ditch my landline.

these are voice activated tele-marketers...if you pick up the phone, and say nothing (stay silent)...after about 4 seconds, the call will automatically disconnect.....if you answer with a "hello" or any voice tone, the computer connects you to the telemarketer.....so now if i don't recognize the number, i answer, but say nothing....there is no human voice at the other end, and if it was a real family emergency, the person would ask..."hello" "hello" "is anyone there".....you got to outsmart them at their game....

had the dead-air sound of an auto-dial confirming its got an live line. it  hung up right after

October 01 2011 same message Lisa - offering to lower credit cards rates.  New racket in town - again, and again and again.  Extremely annoying on Saturday afternoon especially when she repeats it 3-4 times.I do not even have a bloody credit card

Contact your phone provider, many will block numbers for you.

Recieved a call asking me to "be connected to a representative" if I pressed 1. They said that their name was Lisa and that "my credit card company" was going to qualify me for 6% interest rate. It was an automatic recording and I hung up. They didn't say who my credit card company was. Thanks.
