[Tfug] OT - Telemarketing calls with fraudulent caller ID

[RR]

Have you guys registered with http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/donotcall/ lots of
great info on this subject also.

-------------------------------------------------

Effective January 1, 2005, telemarketers will have to scrub their contact
lists against the national do-not-call registry every 31 days, rather than
every three months, as had been the case since the do-not-call list was
established in 2003.

I just got one this morning, from California.  No idea what they were
talking about or if the number was fradulent, but it was pre-recorded
and in Spanish.  Very annoying.
