Re: Do Not Call and Recruiters Nope, no prior relationship. No job boards, no anything related to them, looking for a job, etc. on the part of my wife.
They pull up names from the Illinois healthcare license registry (I guess they buy it), but phone numbers don't come with it. They then match with directories, etc, the phone numbers to the person and then call them.
The business relationship, if any, is my wife and the state with her license. It didn't give the headhunters permission to call her.
What's bad is the guy said in email that "employers calling prospective employees" are automatically exempt from DnC. I spit back an email to him with the exact verbiage and told him he might want to tell his employer that they're not filtering against DnC. Haven't heard back from him yet. |

In that case she should do what I have done with abusing recruiters in the past: First, file a violation report with the FTC. If Illinois has a registry of their own, file a complaint with them as well. Then, print up an invoice for something like $1K and mail it to them. Put "Settlement for violation of Federal Do Not Call list - date and time -." Add a line that failure to remit in full within 30 days will result in their account being referred for collection and possible legal action. Then, if they don't pay up, send them to a collection agency. I've done that and gotten a few to pay...the rest wound up being ruined by the debt collector. (It really didn't matter to me if I ever saw a penny, just the principle of making them suffer from incessant calls form debt collectors.) I rarely get bothered by those jackwagons any more because word does get around.

| Google the phone number. That can bring up the actual business, or somewhere like 800notes.com that others have figured out who the caller is. Another tactic is to play the social engineering game and talk them into forking over at least the company name and where it's located. You can fill in the blanks from there.
