The worst thing is that with more and more people no longer having landlines and only having cell phones (like my household), I found out that the VERY FIRST DAY and VERY FIRST CALL I got on my cell phone was a telemarketing call while I was driving - I laid into that telemarketer by acting like I was going into a car wreck (used sound effects, was pulled off the road at the time) and left that particular caller with the fear of God that I was going to sue her and her company for the damages of the supposed wreck I had supposedly just had. I think people should just let the telemarketers know that it will get extremely expensive for them to continue calling people on the Do Not Call list, I have documents to fill out for each call I get from a telemarketer so that should I get more than one from an offending company, I will get ALL of the info on them to be able to get them prosecuted. We are aware, all of us that we can sue these telemarketers for $500 per time they call us if the person they are calling is on the Do Not Call List, right? I got rid of the landline and got a cell phone because cell phones were SUPPOSED to be legally protected from being called by telemarketers and I wanted to only get calls from family/friends for either information or emergency use.
