I have my home and mobile phones registered with the DNC service. Even still...if I don't know your phone number, I'm not answering anyway. I'm an avid call-screener. :whistling

There are still loopholes that allow them to continue calling. The internet makes it too easy to get calllists (leads) now. And a telemarketer will often use that first call as a 'mistake' and an opportunity to sell something.

True, that's why I still screen calls. Thank goodness for caller ID. Unfamiliar callers go straight to voicemail.
