It's already happening to me

Chase Manhattan bank cals me at least once a week with an automated system. The caller ID just displays the number, and if I answer it it is a credit card solicitation.

Funny thing is, if you call the number back it gives you two options only. One for applying for a card, and the other one to be added to their do not call list. It doesn't matter how many times I've been added to the list, they keep calling me. It really gets me when they do this crap at 9pm on a sunday.

@adsl.tele.dk

have you considered that when you add your number to their "list" it actually verifies that you got the call and heard it.... maybe you should stop doing that

I wonder if enough of us who get these solicitations could in someway say O.K. to their pitch without it costing us, maybe by re-directing it back to their servers. If enough action was sent back to them, could it crash them? I guess it would be classified as fraudulent. they got the game rigged in their favor.

With AT&T Callvantage service, I've blocked the credit card co. from calling through for solicitation as I'd get the same things, along with payment protection, another great offer, etc. All calls without ID get redirected...

Two options they give you, send directly to voicemail or block entirely with a message "...not accepting calls from this number" or something along those lines generated by their system.

Doesn't ring the phone for me...
