Re: Jail time plz who do you jail then?
everyone?
owner(s)?
manager(s)?
programmer(s)?
people who bought the dialer thing?
people who made the decision to call anyways (probably the managers)?
call takers?
i think a monetary fine is better. imo, it should be closer to $16000 minimum. |

My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. He said, If I have a chance to invade if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it.I'm going to get everything passed that I want.

said by SLD:Man, they really do rule the world! I don't know where DSLR is getting "banks" from. The FTC document says:
said by 16 CFR Part 310 :
The Commission also has decided to adopt two exemptions from the requirements of the prerecorded call amendment that commenters strongly advocated. First, all healthcare-related calls subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (‘‘HIPAA’’)4 will be exempt from all of the requirements of the amendment. Second, charitable fundraising calls made by for-profit telemarketers to members of, or previous donors to, a non-profit charitable organization on whose behalf the calls are placed will be exempt from the requirement to obtain prior consent, ... The word "bank" doesn't even appear in the document.

| I thought the do not call list was working. Since putting all of our phone numbers on the Do Not Call List our telemarketing call have dropped to next to zero.
We get a charity call or a local politician looking for votes once or twice a month but that is about it.
Our local cable company was calling every week after I dumped them for FIOS. The last 2 times they called I told the rep that I specifically want to be added to their do not call list, and that I had requested this on 2 prior occasions (so I lied  ). Even they have stopped calling now. |

Re: I thought the do not call list was working. The DNC GIVES companies that you once did business with permission to call YOU up to (i think) 6 months. If you wish to stop you must notify them in writing. |

But, it's nothing like 2000-2003 when 9 out of 10 calls were telemarketers and I literally didn't bother answering my phone when it rang.

kudos:1 | Ever get those "Carpet Cleaner" calls? We get them about once a month or so.... turns out they were actually allowed to do that because of some loophole in the wall that allowed them to call if YOUR ADDRESS had done prior business with them. Apparantly, if your LAND LORD cleans all the carpets before you move in, the carper cleaner in question is somehow allowed to keep that address, later put it in a search engine, find the matching phone number, and add you to their auto-call list.

kudos:1 | Bogus Credit Card Scam Making Me Nuts Those bas*****s have been robo calling my home, sometimes more than once a day, for a year or more. And yes I'm on the do not call list. They just spoof their caller id so reporting them does little good. I'm just unhappy that the FCC can't impose the death penalty.

Re: Banks? Click on the first link on the summary. Skip to the fifth paragraph that reads: quote:
In addition, calls not covered by the TSR – including those from politicians, banks, telephone carriers, and most charitable organizations – are not covered by the new prohibition. The new prohibition on prerecorded messages does not apply to certain healthcare messages. The new rule prohibits telemarketing robocalls to consumers whether or not they previously have done business with the seller.
Emphasis added.
Banks are already exempted from the TSR so an additional explicit exemption from robocalls would be redundant. |
