Ban list for telemarketing

Post by Teabag »

I heard on the zone Thursday morning that there is a list where you can register your phone number so you don't receive anymore telemarketing phone calls. Telemarketing are supposed to check that "ban list" and if your name is on the list they wont call you since they risk heavy fine.

I have searched the net for an hour on Thursday, and another hour this morning but I can't find it. If I spend more time searching without results I am going to do like this guy -->

Does anyone know where is that list?
Thanks for any info, Ian

I'm not sure how well it works. Apparently there are still a lot of exceptions, like your bank, credit card company, phone company etc can still call you. Worth a shot I guess. Good luck.
