why can't these calls stop

Some guy with an east indian accent called to inform me that he wanted to lower my interest rate. I asked where he was calling from. Arizona, he said.  I informed him that I was on the no-call list. he hung up.

Some nonesence call center saying they could lower our credit card interest rate. When my wife pressed '1' to tell them to REMOVE us from our their call list, they answered - first by coughing (LOL) and then when asked to remove us from their list, they simply hung up.

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

Not for nothing!!! usually for speeding or even better not "fully" stopping at the STOP sign (when there is nobody there to waiti for) - the later statistacly safest stop (for them) they ever do... and if you add fiscal benefit for "force and country" this is just to hard to resist after the Tim Horton heaven expulsion...

Dave,Don't waste your money on a cell phone if you think it'll stop these calls.  I get just as many of these stupid calls on my cell as I do on my land line.  I have a feeling that many of these companies just blind-dial all the numbers (i.e. 0000-9999) in any given prefix they know is associated with a given city, regardless of if it's related to a land line or cell.
