Almost 70 million people have signed up for the “Do Not Call” list. It’s been one of the most popular initiatives that the federal government has put into place. But telemarketers have been trying to figure out a way around the list ever since it went into effect. And, the lobbyists representing these telemarketers are apparently pretty powerful. They have been trying to sneak through an amendment to the law and they’ve convinced the FTC and the FCC to hear a petition about it. The petition would allow companies to leave pre-recorded “spam blitzes” on your voicemail or answering machine. The Feds have put up a complaint form for you to fill out, but what they say above it can be quite confusing. That’s ok, because all you need to remember is you don’t want the FTC to permit these phone calls. You don’t have to enter your address or much information at all, so you needn’t worry about being tracked or contacted. But please let your voice be heard. To get to the complaint, click here! Also, if you haven’t registered yet for the Do Not Call list, it’s not too late. Go to donotcall.gov and register every phone number you have.
