Don't be reluctant to use the DoNotCall Registry

Last night I received two completely different phone calls, just as I was engrossed in a TV program I've been waiting to watch. Both were "bots" (robots) and were of course annoying.

So, this morning I thought maybe it's time to update my phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. In the process of doing so, I noticed the File a Complaint option.

I urge all my neighbors - If these companies/individuals never experience any "blow-back" from their intrusions, they will never quit. Please register your phones and don't hesitate to file a complaint.

Here's their address: https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

Notice that you can file a complaint even if your number was not on the registry at the time of the call, if it was from a robot:
  1. You may file a complaint if you received an unwanted call after your number was on the National Registry for 31 days.
  2. You may also file a complaint if you received a call that used a recorded message instead of a live person (whether or not your number was on the Registry).
