Default OT Blocking telemarketers

Per John:
Even get them on my cell. 'Do not call lists' are useless, nationwide
or state. I'm beginning to believe the crooked politicians are selling
the lists!


I have a small stack of lame-sounding letters from the Pennsylvania DA's
office to the effect that "We can't do anything about your complaint
because these guys are going offshore and/or using VOIP".

I'm no legal expert, but I'd think that if they were serious about their
mission, they'd have honey-pot credit cards and people waiting for
Rachel's call. Get down to the point where money changes hands, and go
get 'em.

Somebody who claimed to have worked in the industry said that they have
a 'Do-not-call-really' list of politician's phone numbers - so they
don't irritate the wrong people.
