As previously reported, I proudly registered my phone numbers on the National Do Not Call List the day it went live. Since then I’ve received the usual number of telemarketing pitches from the usual assortment of crooks, swindlers and Conservatives.
In each case, I submitted a complaint about them at the DNCL website, but haven’t heard boo back. (There is a checkbox to specify that you’d like to know the outcome of the complaint.)
Today I noticed a link to verify your registration on the list. I checked mine, and what do you know? It wasn’t registered. All this time, I thought Bell and the CRTC had my back. Guess they showed me, huh?
So I re-registered my number. But it takes 24 hrs for it to “take” in the database. Then, of course, it’s another 31 days before the telescum have to respect the Do Not Call request.
How long are we going to have to endure the ineptitude and incompetence of the CRTC?
