NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY

The Pharmacy Shark Patrol receives a flow of often repeated pleading enquiries - asking how to get rid of persistent unwanted calls from call centres.

In the USA there is a new service to deal with this sort of unwanted telemarketing;
https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

Please subscribe to this service and tell the offending telemarketer that you are subscribed and will file a complaint if they call you again.

If you ask the company not to call again, the company must honor your request not to call. If they subsequently call you again, they may be subject to a fine of up to $11,000.

Pharmacy Shark Patrol expects that the registry will eventually stop annoying telemarketers.
