National Do Not Call Registry Now Lets You Report Text Spam!

[ArtWilliams]

I don't know what's happening the the States but it Canada it's become a free for all. There is a loophole for surveys. It's meant to allow for public opinion polls but now land line spammers use it daily to tell me I've won a boat cruise. Also, because they're located in India, the call centers don't give a rat's ass about our "do not call" laws and just call anyway. I don't pick up the phone unless I know the number. Thankfully no text spam here ... yet.

1st off, just do what I do: Don't answer the phone at all

2nd, the rules for our Do Not Call list are pretty simple: They can call you if you've done business with them in the past. Otherwise, you can report them
