<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2740201, member: 77639&quot;]Although it&#039;s good to register on the &quot;do not call&quot; list, it won&#039;t stop all telemarketers.&nbsp; The reason is a big flaw in the caller-ID system, namely that with the right technology, anyone calling can be made to appear to be calling from any number they choose. Historically, it wasn&#039;t a worry because the equipment to generate caller IDs was complex and expensive, but not anymore.&nbsp; Yeah, the call can be traced back to the real number, but try to get the FCC or any other agency to do it because you are on the &quot;do not call&quot; list and got a spam call.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fix is for the telco&#039;s to be forced to change the caller-ID system, so that only they can generate a caller ID.&nbsp; And, yes, it&#039;s we, the customers, who will pay the costs of the change, and it will be worth every penny ... even a mint state 1909 VDB.</p><p><br /></p><p>In case your aren&#039;t aware of it, two groups are exempt from the &quot;do not call&quot; regs ... nonprofits and politicians.&nbsp; Yup, they can beg and harangue you all they want.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
