  1. Re:Contact your phone company by papercut2a · · Score: 0 · on No Call List Bypassed Using Call Centers in India?

    Get on the state no-call list! It works well--since signing up for it, my telemarketer-scum calls have dropped to nearly nothing. I think I've gotten three buyourstuffthatyouotherwisewouldn'twant calls since signing up over a year ago, and I sent a complaint in for each one. One guy called twice within a few weeks, but nothing since.

    (Well, OK, the state of Georgia now says to sign up for the "free(paidforwithhighertaxes)" federalbigbrother list and you'll get put on the state list automagically.

    Go ahead, big brother already knows who and where you are. ;-)

  2. Re:why is anyone exempt? by Zathrus · · Score: 1 · on U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry is Law

    Georgia, and it does provide exemptions for charities and politicians (including pollsters). No exemption for surveys. There is an exemption for businesses for which you have had a previous or current relationship.

    In the case of all but the politicians/pollsters you can still request to be placed on their Do Not Call list, which they must abide by thereafter.

  3. Georgia (USA-state) has a no call list too. by darnellmc · · Score: 2 · on Telcos Play Both Sides of Telemarketing War

    See https://www.ganocall.com/

    Problem is that you have to pay the state to stay on the list. It's $5 for 2 years on the list. So you still lose in a way, because the state gets paid. And we all know that government is the biggest boss and collector of "protection money" of them all ;o)

  5. Move to Georgia by ChrisCampbell47 · · Score: 2 · on Telemarketers and Cell Phones?
    The state may be the most unregulated wasteland east of the Mississippi in other regards (residential construction licensing, environmental enforcement, smart transportation planning) but when it comes to phone spam, they definitely got it right.

    It works great -- I've received about 2 unsolicited calls in 5 years.

    I had it out on the phone with a "gentlemen" yesterday afternoon over the "do not call me". One of his employees, for the 3rd or 4rth time this week, rang ALL my potts lines, hanging up before we could answer them. Then when we managed to answer, asked for me. My wife said "he isn't available". So he talked to her about our being homeowners (we arent) and how his company (no good bastard telemarkters) can make us a deal on a new home or upgrades. She said she was not only not interested in doing business with him, she didnt want to be called again, and wanted on a no call list. She asked for his name, his phone number (at which point he hung up)...

    Got to love caller id. Got the name, checked the website, called up and asked to speak to the owner.

    I got David Parton on the line, who informed me that if I didnt want him to call me, that I should be put on the worthless GA No Call List. I informed him that pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 227. that the burden of compliance was on him and not on me. After being handled rudely, unprofessionally by the original caller, the founder had the nerve to DEFEND his people, their proceedures, and his attitudes.

    Why do I say the GA No Call List is worthless? It is the LINE OWNERS who have to pay to be on the list! $5 per line for 2 years. I now have to pay to NOT have my dinner rudely interupted by an annoying unprofessional telemarketer who doesnt even have his "market" correct?

    Sure, why not. I have to manage the loads of spam that comes through our company mail servers. I have to pay for the storage, the transport and processing of this junk. Why shouldnt I have to pay for telemarketers also?

    The use of "marketers" in regards to spammers and "telemarketers" has been used loosly. As their shotgun methods of product placement doesnt match nearly anything taught in a true marketing course.
