Okay this is not exactly 100% tech-related, but I feel the need to rant. I applied for a tax permit a couple weeks ago and received the official permit last week. Today I received several telemarketer calls wanting to sell their credit card processing services despite my phone being in the National Do Not Call Registry. So far this morning:
2 calls from 8174663329 Michael Kurecka (trying to sell credit card processing)
1 call from 8009186409 Global Payment Systems
1 call from 8772322370 Another CC Processor
1 call from 3122220131 Yet another....
I didn't think it's coincidence. So I called the state controllers office and they told me that sales permits are public records, and on the state website there's even a section where anyone (including telemarketers) can download information on NEW permits issued. Wow- how convenient!
I've reported the telemarketers' info to the to the DNC site- you should too if you get an unsolicited telemarketing call. The URL is:
