REPORT THEM TO THE DO NOT CALL LIST DoNotCall.gov

I have called spoken to the DNC people, as I spend a LOT of time reporting these. They assured me that they look into all complaints, even if the number that came up on your caller ID is spoofed. They're the Government, they have ways of finding out info. :)

But seriously, when these people are caught, the fine is upwards of $10,000 per verified complaint.

In the past I have agreed to let a "contractor" come out, only to get the callback number of the supervisor. Sometimes now, the craftier companies call back from a spoofed or blocked number. I make the appointment and then say, "if I have any problems, what number can I call you back at". When they give me that number, I then call it back to let them know I don't do business with people who are dishonest, to cancel my appointment and to take me off of their list. I also inform them that they have and will be reported to the Do Not Call list. Once, they called back number was fake and a contractor showed up to have a video camera shoved in his face and me follow him to his car writing down his license plate and video further. I believe in this case they had stolen the identity of a contractor i.e was using his contractor license number (something I also ask for when I make the appointment) without his/her knowledge.

A few telemarketers don't get it and continue to call, although I have been getting A LOT fewer calls now. I have not been contacted to participate in any lawsuits by the FTC.
