Ok, so the state started something called a Don't Call List. You get your info on the list and supposedly telemarketers aren't allowed to call you if you are on the list. But get this. They charge you to get on the list, and you are only on it for 3 months then you gotta pay again. Oh and if you don't get on it by midnight tonight you don't get on the list and have to wait till the next one is put out. Does this sound like a major scam to anyone but me? They've been "advertising" this thing on the news here for awhile now. By law if you tell a telemarketer to put you on the don't call list they have to and cannot call you again. I've done this with various callers and they've never called back. If they do you can sue them and collect big time. No way am I going to pay someone to keep my info in some list that is not permanent. What do they do with the list after the time period is up? Sell it to the telemarketers as people they can now call? This whole thing just screams of scam.
