India says "Me too" on do not call list

It seems like Indians also hate getting phone spam since they are now calling for a national do not call list just like us. I hope for their sake they get it right and ban political and charity solicitations too.

The day after I wrote the preceding post about Outreach Associates I was finally able to get connected when they called me - on the ninth time! The person calling identified themselves as being from The Commonwealth Club which is an organization I'd previously been a member of, and they are a registered charity. When I asked that they put me on their do not call list the person apologized and said they would. When I asked what other charities they call for he acted as if he knew nothing and that he was actually from the Commonwealth Club. So, either they have some deal where Commonwealth Club fund raisers go use Outreach lines, or he was telling porky pies (lies).

Anyway, I'll just have to wait and see if this stops them from calling. I intend to complain to the Commonwealth Club, and I've already filed a complaint with the national do not call registry because it says "if a third-party telemarketer is calling on behalf of a charity, a consumer may ask not to receive any more calls from, or on behalf of, that specific charity. If a third-party telemarketer calls again on behalf of that charity, the telemarketer may be subject to a fine of up to $11,000." I know they are probably going to say there's no problem unless they call me again, but basically I wanted to register my displeasure and find some way to communicate just how many times they had called me before I was able to talk to them and tell them not to call any more. I also want to tell the do not call people how misleading the person was and how he didn't identify he was actually working for another charity.
