"Hi. I keep getting calls from you guys. I'm on the Do Not Call list, and I've opted out of calls using your system several times. Yet Elm Street Capital keeps calling several times a day. I am going to investigate legal options the next time you call. Please lose my number."

I wonder if that will work.

I have spent the last 12-18 months marking text as spam and replying STOP and asking to me removed from call list for the previous owner of this number. This person apparently had a business with loans and debt and signed up some kind of lending offer. 15-20 calls/text a week. How do I make it stop? Change my number? Cause I did that once already from a number that was getting 50-60 calls a week! Any number you haven’t had since 2005 is tainted!#privacy #spam #blockedcalls #donotcall #makeitstop

This is also cumulative ammunition to push for effective #RightToDisconnect law @MontgomeryGator

Oh, it's too disruptive to monitor job communications outside our contracted working hours? Yeah I guess you're right, boss. Hey look here's a law that would help, I guess you'd support this then boss

California law would give employees the 'right to disconnect' during nonworking hours

If passed, the California 'right to disconnect' bill would allow employees to disconnect from communications during nonworking hours.

It's definitely a concern that personal information can be so easily accessed and sold. There are various steps you can take to protect your personal information, such as checking privacy settings on social media, opting out of data sharing wherever possible, and registering on 'do not call' lists to reduce telemarketing calls.

Lost the toot but someone reminded me of the Do Not Call registry, so I verified my registration there and found that I've been on it 20 years this year.

Still getting robocalls left and right, so it leaves something to be desired. #donotcall

I'm on #EE's #DONOTCALL list, but that's the second call in 2 weeks.

Some still work as police officers. Others have since retired. Now, Cook County state’s attorney Kim Foxx has released the names.

Avid Telecom routed billions of illegal robocalls despite warnings, AGs allege.

I know that political campaigns aren’t required to comply with the Do Not Call list, but I don’t know why they think that relentless telephonic harassment will win my (or anyone else’s) vote. I’ll be so glad when the #Chicago runoff election is over! #ChicagoPolitics #ChiPol #USPolitics #USpol #DoNotCall
