Turn telemarketers calls into CASH. Yep, it works.

21. They are working for a company that is engaged in illegal activity.

'Only doing their job' is a cop-out. If a large percentage of the people that they reach tell them that they are on the DNC list and hang up on them or report them, the telemarketer has to begin to have *some* clue that they are supporting an illegal enterprise.

Perhaps instead of asking "What are we selling?", they should start to ask "Does this company obey all of the current consumer protection laws?" It matters very little if they 'believe' in their product; they should not be breaking the law trying to sell it. If the company is unethical, it reflects on the worker.

I had one guy plead with me to not report his illegally-calling company because he was 'just trying to make a living'. So was the guy that was selling drugs out of his mother's basement apartment down the block, but the neighbors managed to get enough complaints in the system that the police finally stopped him, and we don't have all those shady characters wandering up and down the alley at all hours of the day and night anymore.

I have nothing against anyone making an honest living. *Honest* being the key word. If they know the company is doing illegal things and they keep working for them, then it becomes their problem.
