If you can identify the caller, either by phone number or company name, you might be interested in the web site described at SITE 'OUTS' DO NOT CALL VIOLATORS

I've received about thirty calls recently, twice per week, from the ones offering me my "last chance to reduce my credit card payments." They always tell me that if I don't sign up now they'll never call me again - but they do. I hit the button to "talk to an agent" once and asked him for a number I could call back, 'cause "I'm very busy right now." He promptly recited my phone number to me and then hung up.

The worst - IMO - are the snail mail ones who try to "look like an official government agency" or "veterans org" to sell medical "supplement plans." One of these recently had no company name anywhere in the correspondence, a P.O. box for a return address; but to impress me it was signed by the "Vice President" - of what?
