Turn telemarketers calls into CASH. Yep, it works.

40. If you are operating legally, why are you sticking up for the companies that ARE breaking the law?

You should be pressuring the DMA and other 'industry' entities to help clean out the scammers, grifters, and other illegal operations. If the industry operated legally, far fewer people would be as irritated. If you got rid of the ones that ignore the DNC list the overall image of your enterprise would be vastly increased. Work towards that, and don't defend it because the exploited guy at the bottom of the food chain might not know that he's breaking the law.

And if some large percentage of those being called tell the guy that they are on the DNC list, at some point the guy sitting there is going to realize that what he's doing is illegal. At what point does he decide to become a part of the solution, instead of remaining a part of the problem?

Sorry if that's the only job he can find - but breaking the law is NOT an ethical way to make a living, and if you are involved in any part of this industry you should be doing whatever you possibly can to get these boiler-room lawbreakers shut down so as not to tarnish your own sterling image.
