I am on the Do Not Call Registry. I’m getting more and more telemarketer calls. It’s now something like 5 per week. I just filed the following Do Not Call Registry complaint: I received an unsolicited telemarketing call at 9-3-08 11:42 am from a woman identifying herself as being from “The Premiere Health Organization” or […]

I’m working at home today. My new landline phone has been ringing off the hook all day with telemarketer calls. In the last 4 hours, I’ve gotten Comcast, MCI, the California Professional Firefighters Association (a scam if I ever heard one) and innumerable automated-dialer hangups. I’m signing up for the National Do Not Call Registry […]

Update 1-27-12: You don’t need to call them every 5 years any more. They have made it a permanent registry. Every 5 years you should go to donotcall.gov to re-register your phone number on the Do Not Call list. This will keep away most telemarketers. It takes 5 minutes and will save you countless dinnertime […]

Available from your local Walgreens for $12 per ounce or so. It’s generally available in 10% or 25% strength. I wonder what % is […]

I did a bad thing ;-) I got yet another telemarketing call from “The Carpet Cleaning Company”.

I tried “press 9 to remove yourself from our list” maybe 3 times in the […]

Click Here originally published December 2003 in The Panther By Lee C. Sonko “Spam, spam, spam, egg and spam.” The comedy troupe Monty Python’s Flying Circus performed a skit some 25 years ago where an unfortunate restaurant goer had no choice but to order a meal that had spam in it because that was pretty […]

I’ve posted about the telemarketing Do-Not-Call list before, here I just came across this site selling telemarketing phone number scrubber software. The most interesting bit is their Recent Do-Not-Call Fines page. A local version is at the bottom of this post. It’s been about 4 years   since I first registered myself on donotcall.gov so […]

The short form: Total Remodeling of Union NJ (the same people are at Total Renovation Center) called me even though I am on the National “Do Not Call” list. I did some followup research and found they have been successfully sued by the state of New Jersey concerning their Do-Not-Call practices. Total Remodeling has agreed […]
