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."

  1. His Chambers Phone Number by YeOldeGnurd · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    ... is 405-609-5140. There are two "Lee R West"s in Oklahoma, so I don't know which is which. I AM NOT ADVOCATING calling him at home, but if you think it's a good idea, here are the numbers for both Lee R Wests:

    Edmond, OK 73003

    (405)348-0818

    Vinita, OK 74301

    (918)256-4160

    ...Nothing interesting here. Just move along...
  2. 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.
