Keep track and make them pay. It's much more satisfying than just messing with the caller (although that can be kinda fun too)

Read further down in the link I posted earlier in the thread....it's all there.

It's $10,000 if you bust them for not even keeping a do-not-call list. :D

Had a problem with them too before. They would call 5 or 6 times a day when I wasn't home but show up on Caller ID. They finally picked up the phone when I answerd, told them the 'remove me off the list' thing, next month called again, told the lady, no I don't want to switch, etc. and before I could say remove me off the list she hung up on me.

The next month when they called again I told the guy I would NEVER do business with them since that one lady hung up on me, he said he would take me off the calling list, and THANK GOD they never called back again, been 8 months since.

I'll still will never do business with them again.

MCI? What's MCI?

I live in Canada. They don't bug me. :D

Best telemarketing call I got ... a security company wanting to install an alarm system in my house. I lived in a university residence at the time. I had half the floor call to book an appointment before someone on their end clued in.
