I have worked for telemarketers before, and the phone numbers don't appear out of thin air. I also don't purchase any goods or services from ANY marketer who uses telephone marketing.

And if all of us would take that stance, the calls would end.
I understand your point. But if they want to sign up, they should be allowed. And more importantly how about the fact that telemarketers are now calling people's cell phones. I mean calling a person on their land line is one thing, but making someone use thier cell phone is ridiculus. I mean so many people out there are short on air time minutes as it is, and now they have to waste one when they answer the phone and it is a recording, I mean come on. I seriously hope they at least ban telemarketers from calling a person's cell phone.
