At the very least, that would be harrassment. If you are not required to use the list, but call someone ON the list, KNOWING that they definitely DO NOT WANT you to call them, couldn't criminal charges of SOME type apply to that situation? Actually, in this case, we need the ability to file Rank Stupidity charges. Any telemarketing company who calls numbers on this list after Oct 1 and *doesn't* expect to get cussed out by outraged never-will-be-customers simply isn't paying attention. If they can't tell that calling people who are on the list is going to be a complete waste of time, even if the implementation is blocked, then they're too stupid even for telemarketers. Better than swearing, if you have time, follow the script from junkbusters.com, speaking as slowly as possible: Are you calling to sell something? Could you tell me your full name please? And a phone number, area code first?' What's the name of the organization you're calling for? Does that organization keep a list of numbers it's been asked not to call? I would like my number(s) put on that list. Can you take care of that now?Somewhere between the first 4-6 questions you will usually get a "click" or"F-U" on most of the calls.YMMV
