I came accross this nifty anti-telemarketing script from junkbusters. Apparently you can sue telemarketing companies in small claims court for unsolicited calls. There are exemptions though such as tax exempt non-profits and if you’ve had a previously established business relationship.
Personally I always get pre-recorded messages and I can’t remember the last time I got a telemarketing call from a real person. Then again I hardly ever pick up the house phone anymore.
LOL, Good Post!
This is one reason why I moved to a cell phone as my primary source of communication. I heard that solicitors are not allowed to call your cell phone and ever since I moved that route, I haven’t had one bill collector call me since 2006. It’s a good feeling. Now I’ve been actually focused on paying them off rather than getting harassed.
