Someone I knew personally? No. It does require one do one's own homework. You have to request DNC status, record violations, and then go to court. It turns out most people just want to bitch and moan. People who I believed were telling the truth? Yes. The Junkbusters site is defunct, unfortunately, or I'd cite references. There are cases where a telemarketer in violation proves to be hard to trace. There was an automotive warranty scam going around last year I got calls from several times. I looked into pursuing them, but it turned out there were bigger things going on. They were spoofing caller ID, so they were hard to trace. They were also violating several other laws. They had AG's in several states after them. I don't know what happened with it. (For the sake of correctness: "National program" isn't really accurate. It's a federal law which one can use to press charges in the court of jurisdiction, i.e., state court of the violator. It's not like you submit a rebate request or something.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
