Re: Case Study: Do-Not-Call List

Sigh....things are a slightly more complex then you see. Yes, agree, there are certainly those evil kind, the crooks "..taking advantage of the weak-minded and the elderly.", featured on news special reports and so forth, that you so explicitly expressed your hatred.

Those are small-timers, crooks....they rent temp spaces in the backwoods & really
dial manually & try to get your credit card number & screw people. They are like the back-alley drug dealers....

Now do you think they give a toss about DNC law(s) ???? You think the regulation will have ANY effect on them ??? Do we have have legislation against certain drugs in this country ? But do we yet still have a drug problem in this society ?

DNC list is meant to restrict really large, legitimate telemarketers. Where do you think they got the phone numbers ? (hint: CITIGROUP, Bank of America etc)
And guess what...They already know your CC#, your address, your marital status, in some case your DOB....etc.
