4 rings no message left most likely another junk call. This is life in the 21st century

This company is calling to solicit home alarm services. Starting with free system, hookup, bla bla bla. Home - something. Some fake name that I've never heard of. Sketchy salespeople, I just hung up.

I got a call from this number today and hung up before they could say a word.

This [***] dared to phone me and solicit an alarm system.  He was told in the most rudest manner possible that I do not accept telemarketing calls and told him to [***] off.

Why am I getting this type of call, when I am on the National don't call list?

Fact: The Do Not Call list is NOT a call blocker!
The DNC list is a LIST, subscribed to / purchased by legitimate telemarketers, so they know who not to call. The FCC does not give away the list!

Fact: Telephone numbers on the Registry don’t expire.  You do NOT have to re-register annually.

Fact: Scammers and spammers ignore the DNC list.
Many use "war dialers" to quickly dial phone numbers.  After all, phone numbers are just numbers, and are no secret!  (Arabic numbers were invented about 500 AD, so even stupid scammers know about them by now).

Fact: The DNC list does not apply to NON-sales calls, such as political calls, charities, surveys, debt collectors and businesses with which you have done business with during the previous 18 months.

Fact:  Spam callers can be blocked by getting a real call blocker.
 Google (or your favorite search engine) is your friend.
