429,000 Do-Not-Call Complaints

Posted by michael on from the check-the-number-and-dial-again dept.

The Ghetto Imp writes "Is the do-not-call list working for you? According to CNN Money, there have been over 429,000 complaints filed with the FTC over do-not-call violations. The list is incredibly popular, with apparently some 62 million numbers registered. Apparently the worst offenders are the Credit Foundation of America, and our friends at AT&T. In an era where companies use computers to spam pre-recorded messages through our phone lines, does the FTC have the teeth to make unsolicited calls a thing of the past? At $11,000 per violation, let's hope so!"

    So by definition, I hate you. I'm sure you have your own special little slashdot account, but you're just afraid to post with it because you might lose karma! Oh my god! Karma is my yardstick for online popularity amongst my peers!

    In conclusion, I hate you. Thank you for your time.

    On second thought, this was probably unnecessary. Next time I'll get more coffee before posting.
