How in the hell is this new "no call list" supposed to work? I call the number to get us taken off telemarketer lists and we now get more calls now than before I signed up.
And get this, you can call and give them any number to have placed on the "no call list". Great security. So, I could call (don't worry I won't) and have my neighbour placed on the "no call list"? Brilliant and obviously well thought out. What if my neighbour wants these calls? I mean, there is nothing quite like sitting down to a family meal, only to have the phone ring and someone is selling automatic potato peelers that can also trim your fingernails.
Does anyone actually buy stuff from a telemarketer? ("Cold calling" in business talk....) I guess they must, or they wouldn't do it. It's just that it's such an odd concept.
Think about it......
"Hello Mr. Smith, we are selling vaccum cleaners for $3200.00 but only if you act now! All we need is your Visa # sir..."
Well hell ya! Let me just buy that product sight unseen AND give you my credit card number.
Stop calling me, for crying out loud....I don't want your crap.
