New York State Do-Not-Call Registry
If you live in New York State and don’t like telemarketing calls, there is a web form you can fill out which makes it illegal for telemarketers to call you.
I filled it out today. According to the web site, the next “do not call” directory will be published October 1 and telemarketers have until November 1 to stop calling you, or they will be subject to a $2000 fine.
If enough people (and states) figure this out, maybe one day telemarketing will be worthless and nobody will bother any more.
