Stop Telemarketers!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just thought I'd let everyone here know that you have until Sunday, August 31st to add your name to the National Do Not Call Registry which blocks unsolicited phone calls from coming to your home. I believe you can submit up to three or four numbers. The link to them is: www.donotcall.gov. Your name will be on the list until 2008. Be sure to tell your friends. And for all the kids here, be sure to get your parents permission first! Just thought I'd pass along this info.

How soon are people supposed to stop calling whenever you put your number on the list? I put my number on there a month ago and am still getting annoying as hell recordings at least twice a day.

I'm not sure. I just put my name on there yesterday, so it hasn't yet taken affect for me. On the site it says it stops most of these calls, so unfortunately some will still be able to get through. On the link I listed I believe there's a place where you can report that you're still getting these calls, you might want to check into that.

You can continue to register after August 31; this is an ongoing process.

According to the site:

If you register:
June 27 – August 31, 2003

Most telemarketers must stop calling
and you may file a complaint:
After October 1, 2003

If you register:
September 1, 2003 or after

Most telemarketers must stop calling
and you may file a complaint:
Three months after you register

Oh, I guess I didn't read carefully enough. That's the last time I get my information from CNN, they said you have until Sunday to add your name to the list, it's cool that they're giving people more time.

Hey, guys. I have something to confess:

When I was in high school, I worked as a telemarketer.

That said, I've also registered for the Do Not Call List.

Maybe you were the one my dad screamed at when he asked how he was.
