even though our home number and both of our cell phones are on the National No Call Registry and thus those without a prior relationship with us are not supposed to call us.
This started around the 1st of February. We get at least a dozen a week. We had been simply telling people we are on the registry and to remove our phone numbers, when we can, but some are robo calls, and I have gotten exactly the same message in one case from area codes in 7 different states so far.
Posting this to see if anyone else is experiencing this pattern? Could it be that telemarketers of one sort or another have been given some kind of signal that they will not be fined or punished in any way for not abiding by the registry?
Last year it was rare to receive a handful of such calls per month. So far today alone I have received two on my home phone and one on my cell. In each case they knew my name. In no case when I asked could they cite a prior business relationship.
I have filed a complaint on the last one because I am getting annoyed.
Am I the only one experiencing this?
