Just got a phone call. "This call is being placed to verify the number"

[Winchester]

That is the second call today and I am on the Do Not Call list.

I though it was illegal for them to call and for them to block their ID from coming up on the caller ID. 90% of my phone calls are crap like this.


When it shows private name and # I just hit the talk button and dont say anything, then it just starts in. I am in TX.

Indiana's Do Not Call List is great.

Since when do telemarketers call and ask to "verify the number"?
I hope he didn't ask you for any information or to push any buttons on ur phone.

Somewhat off-topic, but I use a cell-phone exclusively; my landline exists soley because SBC requires it for DSL. I don't answer the landline - the answering machine screens my calls. I'm about this close ---> <--- to turning off the ringer completely; I just need to convince my parents that they are not "wasting my minutes" by calling my cell phone!

It was a computer voice. I just hung up.

The DNCL in CO is great. I went from 20 junk calls a night to 0. Weeee!

The national DNCL has worked for me. South Carolina didn't have one to begin with.

Went from 4-5 calls a night to 1-2 calls a week.
