Is this for Canada as well?

When i called it said US Gov, i think Canada is smart enough not to sell their phone numbers to telemarketers, wish the US was !!

I've had my mobile on the donotcall list for a while. Is this the list resetting? It does that periodically. The annoying thing is that even when you are on the donotcall list, if you have a "business relationship" with a company it can still call with gratuitous ads.

If i have "business relationship" and they want to keep my business ,they'd better not call with gratuitous ads.I have little tolerance for such crap.

I agree, but it gets tough when its your utility company...

No, no, no.
I had enough stupid calls in the middle of the night after I put flyers with my services in suburbs. I don't know why those guys assume, that cleaning lady can offer also another services
And now it's gonna start bunch of: "Hi Moom, how are you today? I'd like to ask you couple questions..." during day? Crap!
Thanks for info Henpecked, I'm calling that number right now!

Reporting violations to the FCC really works. One of the prior law offices I was at, I was so annoyed with all the fax solicitations I decided to fax spam the crap out of the FCC fax. I'd accumulate a week's worth of solicitations before faxing to the FCC. It would be like 50 pages. Mysteriously our fax machine stopped getting solicitations. I've also seen the FCC complaints and fines with our office's name in it as a complainant.

Info on how to report violations is at the FCC website.
