I am one of the hundreds of millions of people who have signed up for the now notorious Do Not Call List, and yet I still receive unsolicited phone calls from telemarketers, scammers and robocallers on a daily basis.

Even with an entire governmental department dedicated to keeping dinnertime uninterrupted by pesky phone calls, you still can’t escape the reach of the robocall. This is a new age of “marketing,” and it seems the technology of caller I.D. and call blocking can’t quite keep up.
