    The Failure of the "Do Not Call" List

    Sunday, January 07, 2007 - 06:59 PM

    I'm not sure if this is localized to Los Angeles, or perhaps even just to my house...but man-o-man, the federal "Do Not Call" List seems to really have fallen apart in the last few months.

    Don't get me wrong: it was workin' like magic at first. But I'm suddenly getting 2-3 calls a day from unregistered numbers, or sales calls masked as non-sales calls, and it's kinda bugging me.

    Have smaller phone-based sales companies suddenly realized they can operate under the radar of the "Do Not Call" list...or am I the only one receiving these calls?

    4 Salesperson (off-panel): And what will the government do when you complain? Will a team of beaurocrats spring into action? Or will your complaint be put into a database...? On a computer... in a room... that no one has a key to?
