They let John McCain's campaign use lies, false advertising, scare tactics, and smear tactics in a 3 month long carpet bombing robocall campaign. Why not some spam that's just merely annoying instead of potentially carrying the nuclear football? :) Ron: This is Ryan from Transcontinental Warranty calling because YOU NEED TO KNOW that our competitors have worked closely with DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!!!!.

We also get the calls to lower our interest rates. All they need is my credit card number... The government can trace them by following the money trail. It's not hard...

I get this calls every 2 or 3 weeks saying "This is your final call to renew your car warranty." On top of that, I don't drive! The calls also states "If you want to be removed from the list, press 2". I press the #2 and the calls gets disconnected. So, I thought that my number was removed, but it is not! 3 weeks later, another robo-call came and this time, I press #1 to speak to an operator. The funny thing, the operator could not speak English. I even ask if it was Spanish speaker, since I am Hispanic, but this operator was unable to understand. I ask for a supervisor and the person who took my call, after explaining that I removed my phone from the list, it said that he could not remove the number, because I was not in the National Do Not Call List. So, what is the meaning of the message "If you want to be removed, press 2" is about? Thank goodness this nonsense will come to a stop!
