Which, of course, is total garbage. Just get ahold of someone who's been scammed by these folk and trace the credit card transaction. Could "Rachel" get away with this for a few weeks? Sure. But this specific group has been active for over a year. And the calls are coming to my numbers in multiple parts of the country. - What I don't understand is why the FCC/FTC are doing diddly squat. Well, I can understand why that would be their initial position, but Congressional folk are getting hefty numbers of complaints. (And they're getting their own batch of calls, too). -- _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dannyb@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] ***** Moderator's Note ***** Congressmen have _all_ their numbers on a special "don't even think about it" list, which _every_ telemarketeer obeys carefully. After all, Congressmen are much more important than ordinary people, so they can't be having their time wasted. Bill Horne Moderator
