Telemarketers Plan Counterattack

Chris Hoofnagle writes "CNN reports that companies who heavily use telemarketing are planning to counterattack consumers with a barrage of spam and junk mail in October, when the new do-not-call registry goes into effect. Slashdotters should be aware that, as well as anti-spam email software, there are tools to avoid junk snail-mail, such as Junkbusters' free Declare, Private Citizen's excellent service and the Postal Service's Prohibitory Order service, which is described at the EPIC privacy page."

    you need all three sit tones....

    telemarketers are getting around the telezapper because it only gives the 1st tone...

    if you record the 3 tone at the first part of your message... it will get all of them every time.
