Unwanted Telephone Marketing Calls

Telemarketer Invasion of Privacy -
US citizens are now PREY.
The predator is The Direct Marketing Association.
The enabler is Congress, and the Inactive FCC and FTC.

Here is a list of 2012 harassment phone calls that I have received, with notes.

On Dec. 4, 2008, I registered with the Federal "Do Not Call" list.
On Jan. 4, 2009, my "Do Not Call" number went into effect.
However, I now receive even more illegal SPAM phone calls. Below, I list the info for all my unwanted calls, since the "Do Not Call" list is non-functional.

I found all the public company information and Phone Numbers above by using Google search.
Although the author has tried to be as accurate as possible, errors are possible.
I receive far too many unwanted phone calls. So, I made this online unwanted call log, to tell everyone about who the worst offenders are, from my perspective.
