Telephone Spam, Donate To Breast Cancer

It seems like everyone and their momma has our home phone number. It rings all day, 90% of the calls are unknowns, 1800 numbers, or numbers we don't recognize. We can have our number unlisted for an extra $5 a month, you think we're going to spend an extra $5 a month when we can continue to ignore the calls? $5 goes a long way at Walmart, it's not that serious to keep the phone from ringing.

A few minutes ago I got a call from "UBCF" in Chicago. Of course I didn't answer, but I looked up "UBCF" and was directed to the United Breast Cancer Foundation. So I thought Ok, maybe they want a donation so I donated on the website, if you haven't already, consider doing so. This call I wouldn't consider telephone spam, I know they got our number because it's listed, I'll make an exception for them.

We are part of the National Do Not Call Registry to keep telemarketers from calling. They were driving me nuts calling about newspapers and magazines when we first moved. I also screen unknown numbers in the Directory of Unknown Callers.

I know receiving unknown calls are peeves to us all, so I wanted to share these resources, the National Do Not Call Registry and Directory of Unknown Callers. If these don't help, have your kid answer the phone like Tanyetta does :lol:.
