    "Anyone can purchase the do not call registry.  Anyone who fills out the form and pays the fee.
    Then the scammers have your number.  Then they sell that list to other scammers, your number is out there BECAUSE our GOV made some money selling your number on that list! "  OK, just from that statement, how do you explain that your calls went down because you took your number off the list?  If it was on the list, and the scammers were selling the list it would still be on there and they would be calling you.  Huge mistake in logic.  Come back and give it another try when you get an education and can actually tell us something worthwhile and truthful.

    If you did not know that any scammer can purchase your phone number from our government, here is the site and how it works.  This is why you should get your number off the list, it takes some time, but your calls will go way down like mine did.  How many legitimate telemarketers are there out there anymore?  Very few.  And if your not on the registry, all you do is tell the legitimate ones you are, and they will remove your number from there database.

    How Do I Access The National Do Not Call Registry?
    Online at www.telemarketing.donotcall.gov

    How Does The National Do Not Call Registry Work?
    Since January 1, 2005, telemarketers and sellers have been required to search the registry at least once every 31 days and drop from their call lists the phone numbers of consumers who are registered. The dedicated, fully automated and secure Web site at www.telemarketing.donotcall.gov provides this information to telemarketers and sellers.

    When an organization accesses the system for the first time, it will have to provide some identifying information, such as Organization Name and Address, assign an Authorized Representative, and provide the Representative's Telephone Number and Email Address to create a profile. If an organization is accessing the registry on behalf of a Client (Seller), the organization may need to identify the Client (or Clients).

    The only consumer information organizations are able to access from the national registry is a registrant's telephone number. Consumers' phone numbers are sorted and made available by area code. Each organization accessing registry data may be required to pay an annual fee based on the number of area codes the company accesses.

    On subsequent visits to www.telemarketing.donotcall.gov, organizations can download either a complete updated list of numbers from their selected area codes or a more limited list that shows additions or deletions since the last download. They can also use an Interactive Phone Number Search Feature that is designed to allow small volume callers to comply with the Do Not Call requirements of the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) without having to download a potentially large list of all the registered telephone numbers within a particular area.

    Did anyone ever notice that after you added your number to the do not call registry your scam calls went wayyy up in about a month or two?  I sure did.
    Anyone can purchase the do not call registry.  Anyone who fills out the form and pays the fee.
    Then the scammers have your number.  Then they sell that list to other scammers, your number is out there BECAUSE our GOV made some money selling your number on that list!  Of course the GOV does NOT want that list to go away, it keeps the registry people with a job!  AND the GOV has your number now!
    So, took my number off the list.  It took about 6 months to start taking effect, but the calls went dramatically down.  Way down.  And now after 2 years of being off the do not call, I might get one or two calls every month now, compared to daily calls.  So, what does that tell you!

    The subject is getting these people to STOP calling.
    I find it incredible that me giving my story of how i got them to stop calling me and how this really works, makes some of you feel so threatened.  Guess you don't want them calls to stop.  Sounds like that to me.
    So, what does someone ALWAYS do to those who tell the truth.  They call them crazy or liars.
    It really makes me laugh!
    Anyway, anyone who wants there calls to actually stop.
    Get your number off of the registry.  Takes some time, but It works!

    Nothing more then you just think it helped.. I only get one or two a month and my number is still on the DNC.  So you have proven nothing here.   And the government can get a persons phone number any time they want, same as we can.

    And no, no one just up and purchase the registry.  Not sure where you come by that misinformation. The scammers are stealing info, from online forms being filled out to security breach's. Others use dialers or computers that all they have to do is plumb in numbers.

    People fail to realize that numbers can be obtained many ways. One prime example is becoming a member of an organization. They often have fine print in their terms that gives them the right to share certain types of information.
    Then companies you may have done business with might share phone numbers and other types of information. Another known culprit is the DMV.  The list goes on. I have made it no secret that I believe the calls my mother receives are related to her membership to AARP.

    The irony of it all is that both my cellular and house number are registered with the DNCR and I rarely receive a call from a telemaggoter.

    Couldn't agree with you more on that Mid!  As we have seen, tons of breach's and if they google their names & numbers, there's a ton of places with that info as well.  I often think people that say these things, are illegal callers attempting to discourage and discredit the DNC to keep people from reporting and having their number on the list deliberately so they can legally call.

    Scammers are not using the Do Not Call List as a source for numbers to call.

    I put my cell number on the do not call list the day I got it.  That was in about 2003.  Since then I've gotten less than 10 spam calls per year.  The only exception was the 6-week period when I was getting calls for Michael the Deadbeat.
