"Celebrating" The Do Not Call's 10th Anniversary

DNC is useless.
The people who continue making all of these scam calls should do prison time for their blatant disregard of the DNC list. The companies that they work for should be fined into oblivion as well and every time a new one pops up, do the exact same thing again.

Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ah-ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.

I'm always suspicious when my phone indicates "Private caller" and I know it's a scammer. They can spoof the origin of the caller and make it look legit,just like the crap they try to pull with emails and make it seem personal. I HATE all the scammers so whewn in doubt don.t answer the phone!!

What's to celebrate? The DO NOT CALL REGISTRY is about as useless as fireproof coal!

This is a joke right?  What DNC list?  I'm of the opinion it truly is a catchall for the telemarketers.  Typical Government program.....it only works for the criminals.

I do not believe this system works. For years I've place my number on the list only to get an increase number of unwanted calls. If you really want to stop callers with this system block these numbers with the automated systems these crooks use in the manufacturing process, so these numbers cannot be used.

There is no end to these steaming piles of dog feces. The government does nothing. The Do Not Call Registry is nothing more than a scam. If you were to call the White House and threaten the idiot POS in the oval office, you'd be in cuffs in an hour. Yet, they can't stop the scum that makes thousands of calls daily to numbers on the Do Not Call Registry. What does that tell you?

All our useless legislators have to do is make spoofing illegal as it is a clear case of misrepresentation which is a crime and would eliminate most of the calls, however, our criminal legislators are paid off by the telecom industry and who knows who else so the nonsense goes on.

Almost all these calls are coming from off shore. They use spoofed numbers in order to find people to scam. The DNC won't stop them and the FCC can't. The only one who can is the telcos who can shut down spoofed numbers. They won't until they are forced to because they make money from the scammers.

I would buy it if it was reasonably priced like under $100.00

Like that idea

Give us the ability to whitelist calls. That's all. Blacklisting does not work due to spoofing. Ma Bell will NOT allow whitelisting because if it was installed en-masse, Ma Bell would loose money. No more auto dialed scammers using their system. It's all about money. Anyone who says different has money in the telephony system.

I wouldn't suggest you or anyone do [that].  It's a violation of the 'Communications Act of 1934' [Federal Law] and would land you and anyone that does [that] ... in prison ... along with hefty fines.  One thing you DON'T want to do is 'play' with the U. S. Government..

There are MANY types of computer generated calls that are very useful and necessary. So your idea fails.
There are call blocking inline filters and telephones with call blockers in them that work extremely well. My received scam/spam/robocalls literally dropped to maybe 1 every two weeks or more. And that is from a few a day.

They usually use spoofed numbers so tracking them down is impossible. You can't track a fake number from a "hidden" computer.
