"Scammers have been making phone calls claiming to represent the National Do Not Call Registry.
The calls claim to provide an opportunity to sign up for the Registry.
These calls are not coming from the Registry or the Federal Trade Commission,
and you should not respond to these calls."

I never reply to any kind of scamming, telemarketing, etc. As soon as I find out that the caller is not family/friend, or someone I am expecting (e.g. mechanic telling me that the car is ready), then I immediately end the call.

If I want a product/service, I call them. I hate it when they call me:angry:

There is a phone scamming industry here in the USA. Mostly they target older people.
My Mom is in her 80s and grew up in rural Texas during a time when criminals didn't prey on old folks so much.
She has been victimized a few times, now that she's getting really old. Too trusting.

Today, American cable companies sell your TV watching habits to the highest bidder.
Their are people in the world who know they can profit by knowing what hours you watch TV, what channels you watch,
which Ads make you change the channel, and which ads you will watch.

The Obama regime purchased TV use files on voters to use in the creation of psychological profiles.
They also had obtained the voting record of their victims.
They crafted precise phone call scripts for each voter profile.
Each phone caller (regime operative or employee) had the exact text
of the questions he would ask the scam victim.
Their psychologist designed the questions to motivate/trick the victim into voting for Obama.
They used guilt and/or threats (to reveal your poor voting records to your neighbors).
And they also used nagging: repeatedly 'Have you voted yet'?
They kept it up, until the election day was over.

This is what happens when you answer the phone too much..
