Should Hatteras Boats do robo-calls when they have a sale?
Probably won't work. Just an idea. A bad idea..

We haven't had an actual "robocall" political call since leaving
Virginia five years ago. We do get some "live" political calls, though.
Nothing really offensive yet this cycle. Last time, though, we had a
real nutcase - a Constitution Party jesusfreak - running against our
incumbent congressman, and the guy's six supporters made some outrageous
and offensive calls to try to drum up support.

Occasionally I'll still get politi-bot calls, but ot often.

Ahh. Dish Network. I had to file a complaint with the State of Maryland
about their damned robocalls.

If that bothers you, you should sign up on that "don't call" list.
The gov started it a few years ago. I signed up and it cut spam calls
by 90%. Political calls and charities are exempt I think.
So are those you do business with, but you can tell them to leave you
alone and they listen.
Easy to do.

That's just it, Vic. I AM registered witht he DoNotCall list, and I
make sure it's updated yearly. but they keep hammering.

I may have to do what Harry suggested and file a complaint.

Funny how it seems to work better for some.
I've heard others say it didn't work as good for them as it has for
me.
You shouldn't have to update. I never have.

Maybe the updating confused the system?

Good idea. Looks pretty easy to do on the site.

I've been getting them lately from some company flogging 'low interest'
credit cards.
This even though I signed up for the 'do not call/harass' program they
finally started here. Guess I'll have to report the incoming phone number
to the authorities.
