It should be illegal for companies to sell your contact information just because you signed up for something legitimate with them.?ÿ You sign up for an industry publication, conference, seminar, webinar, class, etc. and the next thing you know you get spam from all across the digital landscape.
There needs to be a do not email registry, where even if you signed up with a second party and they share your information with a third party - the third party isn't allowed to send you unsolicited emails.

Wait! ?ÿThat makes sense!
The problem is making it illegal involves government. ?ÿGovernment NEVER makes sense.
I wish someone would make a App that I could send a electrical surge back to the original sender and fry their phone and computer system.
Call it the Zapper.

Sorry your second sentence will never make sense.
Government is necessary.?ÿ What entity enforces your right to peaceful possession of your property??ÿ
The Do Not Call list is useless. The slugs just found a way to spoof legitimate numbers so you don't know where the call really originates.
I don't think it's totally useless - you know from the get-go that the call isn't from a trustworthy company.
I let my listing in the Do Not Call list expire because I put a little bit more thought into it... how will the telemarketers know which numbers they can't call if they aren't told which numbers are on the list? The legitimate companies may respect the list, but the nefarious, illegal entities likely will not. To me, it sounds like you are adding your number to a list that is available to the bad guys. No thanks.
It almost seemed to me like the "Do Not Call List" got into the hands of the tele-scum marketers and they focused on those numbers.?ÿ Once I signed up on the DNCL I started receiving MORE calls.?ÿ
The?ÿ"Do Not Call List" in Florida is useless. The damn robocalls never quit so I gave and bought one of these.
The giant red button is great, can even hit it if you've imbibed in too many adult beverages or inhaled more glaucoma medicine than "instructed".

Zap 'em!

Does it work? Does it send a electrical surge through the line and kill them?

For me, the do not call list has been basically worthless, especially within the past couple years. I attribute this to many (perhaps most) of the spam callers being located over seas, thereby untouchable by US authorities and laws. Also by using the internet (Voip calling) and being able to spoof numbers so easily, offenders are basically untraceable.
What Has proved more useful is having a Google Voice number as my primary. GV does a Great job of identifying spam calls and not letting them through.
Given how the Do Not Call list has failed, I would fully expect a "do not email" list to be as useless for very similar reasons. Over seas companies are not subject to US laws (that I know of) and getting new email addresses is very easy.
All the unwanted calls that come in on my line are either the ones that have a blocked caller ID or else they are from somewhere several states away.
The one that I laugh at will leave me a message wanting me to take advantage of some act that enables me to become a robo caller and make surveys over the phone.
Do not respond to any VA Loan or AARP related internet stuff. I'm getting over 50 emails a day offering me loans.
