The forbidden list :)

[destinyredd]

I'm on it, but unfortunately, if you put your number on any of these survey things, they can call you. No matter how many lists you are on.

True, unless you tell them to add you to their do not call list. They have to remove your number(s)
and NOT call again once you DO tell them, even if you did allow them to call at first.

Thanks destinyredd for that info

You're welcome!

I second the thank you!

It's been so peaceful aroung here without all of those telemarketers. I can actually get online without having to get up every few minutes 'cause of the stupid phone.

YW and I hear ya! 

I believe there are only a few that are allowed to call: non profit organizations etc. that may need help.
But shouldn't be stalking us anyways.

yes that is right but that only lasts so long and also it's not instant.. so you may get more calls that day. and then they can start up again after so long.

Correct, it doesn't happen automatically.

Telemarketers have to look at the LIST. They know they can have a problem/fined if you report them.

They CAN call you UNTIL you tell them to put you on THEIR Do Not Call List.

After that: you can report them on the same list(s) agency(s)

Nothing is perfect, but if I didn't try it, my phone would really be ringing off the wall, as it was before.

Update your number's occasionally. It's not that hard.

WEll, nonprofit organizations I understand, but NO ONE should have to put up with "Answer our quick survey (that's NOT) and get a free cruise!"
No lie, I've gotten that three times a day before, and I looked up the area code, and it was some idiot in Pennsylvania with a voice recorder....LOL.
Anyone else ever gotten that before?

I recommend you get and use ccleaner every morning b4 doing anything online that involves crediting. All that crediting stuff will work better!

  And this is the real problem...Some companies, once they get your name and address, they generate a list and they sell these lists in labels to the general public to make some profits. That is where all your junk mail is coming from!

[janrallis]

That's a great tip. Thanks!!

[girlswin2]

Thank you for this info didn't know that cell phones could be added for this list.  Great!!  I got over 1600 emails mostly spam email to get kicked out of my email today.     Have great day!!

If anyone is having trouble with spam emails, just use a temporary email like mailinator.com

[dmalsbury]

works for me.

that's when magic jack really comes in handy...even when it's not plugged in, your messages get sent to your email.

Our numbers on that list. But do you have a way to get creditors to stop calling from my finacees ex-wife and her daughters. I keep telling them they dont live her and then I get some new number on the caler ID.
