Get them at home a lot. Mostly coming in from Canada because the National No Call registry, they say, doesn't apply to them. Canada has its own National No Call Registry, but I suspect that it doesn't apply for calls originating in the US, or vice versa. But when the USA is forced to join up with Mexico and Canada in the New World Order, I suppose that problem will be solved.   -

Get them on my work line regularly, it seems. Have been getting them for quite some time, so was surprised to hear that only now someone is doing something. It seems I also get another, similar one, maybe about a credit card? I'll have to pay more attention as I'm hitting 7-6 to delete.

I hope that while he is at it, Senator Schumer adds the "market research" companies to the list of those that cannot ignore the No Call list.

Aren't we consumers who received these calls supposed to be compensated by the companies who have infringed on our "do not call list" phone numbers?
I thought there is/was a provision in the law that says that consumers can seek redress now that we know who was doing the calling.
