Stop the Scam Likely and unwanted calls now!
Many think that by saying "Place me on the do not call list". That will put an end to the unwanted calls. However,
The National Do Not Call Registry is a valuable tool, but it doesn't provide complete protection from unwanted calls. Here's why:
- Scammers and Illegal Callers: Many of the most annoying calls come from scammers and illegal operations who blatantly disregard the registry. They often use spoofed numbers to mask their identity.
- Legitimate Businesses with Recent Relationships: Companies you've done business with recently, or those you've given written permission to call, can still contact you even if you're on the Do Not Call List.
- Political Calls, Charities, and Surveys: These types of calls are exempt from the Do Not Call List.
- Time Lag: It can take up to 31 days for your number to be fully registered in the system.
