Not here...Calls are made by people working from home, numbers come from
everywhere: random number generators...Even Vermont DMV sold lists...We
have a law in VT that upon request the "number for suppression" must be
supplied. It will filter my # from whatever source generated it.
When I first got a 'phone in '93, MCI called mercilessly! Finally I
called our US representative Jim Jeffords and complained. Was told they
had had several complaints, and about this number. About half an hour
later a very flustered manager woman from MCI called and apologized.
"There's no need to the *politicians*!" Never heard from them again.
That's service!
Come next election, Jim got my vote :-)
