I get about 8 phonecalls a night and I've had it! (I'm not exagerating either)


Anyone know how to get my number removed from "the list?"

Sadly there is no "Do Not Call" list as in the US (Apparently the Direct Marketing lobby here (AKA The telemarketing scum) can twist arms better up here :rolleyes:

Best advice I can offer is use your answering machines call screening feature, it gets rid of most of these parasites, esp. if you have a rather, erm, "unique" answering machine message ( The joys of being an anime geek, you can get voice actors to say some really, really strange things if you tell them its for an answering machine message :lol:)

Nah they don't twist arms better, we just have lots of guns down here :) You know how trigger happy we all are! :)

I guess its one of the perks for living in the US.. and probably about the only one really. I haven't have a telemarketer pester me in I don't know how many years.
