Crooks

[billroper]

I got yet another robocall yesterday and another this morning from someone who is trying to get me to switch my electrical service to them as a supplier.

Since my number is on the national do not call registry, this leads to one simple question:

Why would I want to do business with criminals?

DNC violations are, I believe, civil violations rather than crimes. However, if you're saying that telemarketers who commit such violations are very likely out to defraud you, you're right.

Under UK law, Fraud is a criminal act ... but it's whether something like the Do Not Call list is backed up by some sort of mala prohibita that would make violation a criminal act, that's an interesting question, and it may vary from state to state.

But IANAL ;-)

The DNC list is enacted by federal regulation or legislation (it's often hard to keep track of which is in effect), and state law usually stands clear where federal regulations apply.
