U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List

Posted by timothy on from the 405-609-5099 dept.

DirkDaring writes "Yahoo is reporting that a U.S. court in Oklahoma has blocked the national 'do not call' list that would allow consumers to stop most unwanted telephone sales calls. With around 50 million phone numbers currently signed up this could get very messy."

    This is a Judge in Oklahoma appointed by Clinton. The attorny in the case is from Arkansas of all places.

    What does this reek of?

    Exactly, this will be sorted out by the end of the week. Oct 1st is just around the corner.

    Fuck you, bastard. I was born and raised here and have shit things out smarter than you.

    It's poor ignorant bastards like you that don't enjoy quality of life things like clean air, beautiful open spaces, NOT 3 million people in 10 square miles, and a reasonable cost of living that perpepuate the myth that Oklahoma is somehow a backwards state...

    Just because we don't have smog, incessant traffic, extremely dense population, and 30% higher retail prices DOESN'T mean we're backwards.

    fuck off, dumbass

    every state is in the red, the national debt is climbing by the second, nearly every developed country is seeing amerika and the Administration as colonial overloards, civil rights are being eroded in the name of patriotism, corporate irresponsibility--both fiscal and environmental--continue, millions can't go to a doctor, and millions of those who can can't afford the medicine that's perscribed, and we give a shit about telemarketing.

    please.

  5. CALLER ID != ANI by BasharTeg · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You retards. Don't be completely stupid. You can't block the phone number from a company's 800 number because they are paying for the call.

    I know, I work for a company that sells 800 service. You can *67 and run modemjammer.exe if it gives you a hard on, but we still have your number. *67 works for Caller ID, not ANI.

    For proof of this call a number with ANI service like: *67,,,1-800-964-0176

    Perhaps you'd be better at offering telephone advice to persons living in Afghanistan.
