Monday morning and i'm ready with my excel spreadsheet to keep track of each caller. I plan on getting whatever information i can and make sure each agrees to removed me from their contact list. Wouldn't ya know it... now that i'm ready for them.... i'm not getting the usual morning barrage of calls i received all last week.
My husband was listening to the answering machine this morning and there were numerous messages for Cindy yesterday. One call was from me, saying "Cindy i know your there, pick up the phone, pick-up, pick-up, pick-up." And i hear my husband say "i can't believe this, now Cindy's friends are calling us!" He's pissed until he hears me say "someone pick-up... come on Cindy, followed by my three son's names."
Anyway, i'll be doing my homework over the next few days. Hopefully the calls will die-down, but if not.... i'm ready.
I do realize that all the information this guy/company has gathered on me, could easily found by anyone willing to search... but the fact is... this guy is selling it and that's the part that seems so wrong.
I WANT OFF THAT GUYS LIST!

So this is interesting... one of the calls this morning was from Westwood College. I explained the situation and was told i'd be removed from their list. Between 2-2:30 pm, two more calls from colleges... one of which is Westwood College AGAIN!
Before i started answering these calls, Westwood was one that should up many times on my caller ID, but they always hung up when they got the machine.
Is it unreasonable to expect them to take me off the list immediately?

Not only is in NOT unreasonable to be expected to be taken off the list its ILLEGAL !!
That is the stuff I was telling you before we got Sued for, we also got fined from the FCC.

okay so you are on the do not call list.
I'm in Canada. I can call you trying to sell crap till you are in tears.
I'm on the Canadian version of the list. I get a ton of call selling me stuff...All the telemarketers have indian accents.
What it does is ensure that AMERICAN business can't try to sell stuff.
another well intentioned law up the wazoo.

I am not referring to her legal rights. She has every right to take some form of legal action.
THIS is what I have issue with. Her inconvenience, is worth tens of thousands of dollars? So basically look for a loophole and rape someone for as much as money as you can get out of em, right?

That isn't true. You operating over US phone lines controlled by the FCC and would be in violation of international agreements.
I speak from experience here. YOU CAN NOT CALL SOMEONE IN THE STATES THAT IS ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST FOR ANY FORM OF SOLICITATION and GET AWAY WITH IT! REGARDLESS OF COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.

If you put up a sign on someones property lets say McDonalds that says eat at Burger King without there permission do they not have the rights to defend themselves in court and sue you for every penny they can?
If I break in your house and go through your stuff and steal your identity do you not have that same right to come after me for your lost identity??
Selling someones personal information without there express permission or consent is illegal. PERIOD.
It is not Raping someone to punish someone for stealing your information then selling it. What this company did was no different than a crack head stealing a tv from someone and selling it to someone else.
Its called punishing them and yes it MORAL, ETHICAL and Legal to seek retribution in the form of Monetary punishment. They made money off of her identity. Money she is entitled to & compensation beyond that amount for her loss and the harassment she has received due to this individual or corporation selling her stolen information and every person/company that used this information illegally.
