I'm on the list but I still get calls from Michael from Duct Cleaning Services. He doesn't specifically name the company he's representing so how does one nail the originators hide to the wall. How big are the fines? How often are they handed out.
I know the calls come from outside the country and prosecuting them would be virtually impossible but I can't hire a foreign hit man to bump off someone (letter bomb etc) here that I don't like and get away with it. Nail the originator.
Exceptions: Charities, Political Calls, Surveys.
The charities we get are used clothing dealers that throw in CF, MD or some other charity related name in an attempt to legitimize the call. Ask them for a registered charitable organization number and they spin you off to a wild goose chase.
Surveys: Why do they get special treatment other than government census type calls? If you need to know something I'd be pleased to answer your questions. Please submit them in writing along with a cheque for the appropriate amount. You need me. I don't need you.
Politicians. Copy their email address and send them a meaningful question. You will get a "Thank you for you input" reply. If they aren't going to answer your questions why bother contracting you?
