they're driving me nuts

My number is registered on National Do Not Call.  I have received calls from this number. - I haven't spoken to anyone, yet.  Please note the following experience I had with another company which is doing the same thing.  (They are all trying to sell you on the idea of a work from home business.)I advised "Tony West" of Higher Impact, Inc to remove me from their calling list.  He was soliciting home based business opportunities and claimed he had my number from an online survey source called Home Business Connection.  Although I repeatedly told him I had no interest or need to earn money from my home - he persisted and insisted that I had 'at some point' requested the information he had to offer.  Finally, I advised him that I would spend my spare time filing the necessary complaints with the FCC, BBB and National Do Not Call until his business was heavily fined and hopefully issued a cease and desist all unwanted phone solicitation.  I told him to get a "real" job and stop harrassing people.  Beware of these scams!  These callers will not allow you to get a word in -- they keep talking -- keep insisting you had requested the information through a survey, website, etc.  They want to play you pre-recorded testimonials of other scammers, who claim to have made their fortune with some unnamed company -- and claim it's so easy! you can work from home! become independently wealthy!  DON'T FALL FOR IT!!  They want your credit card information so they can hook you into a pyramid scheme.  You give them $200 or more "investment" and you too can become just like them!  You will have to call people and get their credit card information and convince them that they will make a fortune working from home; and so on....  You never really sell a 'product'; rather the opportunity to be a nuisance in someone else's life.  Don't give any telephone number (home, cell, work) to anyone other than those with whom you do business and provide the protective clause that your information will not be sold or used for solicitation of any kind.  Some of the comments these people have given have been off the hook!  I asked one guy "are you so thick that you can't grasp the concept that I am not interested? and to removed my name & number from your list?"  He then said "are you such a redneck that you don't want to earn money working from home?"  When I told another guy that I didn't need any extra money I have all I need -  He said "Really?  How much money do you have?"  I am appalled at what these people are getting away!  Believe me, I will spend as much time as possible putting a stop to this in my life.  If it weren't for a few people standing up years ago; there wouldn't be a National Do Not Call Registry and certain laws in place to keep this type of behavior from happening.  I suggest you all do your part in reporting these nuisance callers.  Keep a log of the numbers, names of businesses, names of callers; and get as much information from them while they are on the phone with you.  Don't let them off easy!  They interrupted your day - make them account for that.  Make them provide you answers to as many questions as you can think of and really make them uncomfortable.  Don't let them win!
