Frankly, I don't see what these telemarketers actually gain, though, by continuing to call people that don't want it, even if they can legally get away with it. All they do is irritate those people even more and, IMO, LESSEN the chances of them getting a sale or contribution.

One of the biggest problems with the "Do Not Call" list (aside from the evil people who simply ignore the law) is that it's very specific.
If you tell a telemarketer...
"Stop calling me"
"Never call me again"
"Take me off your list"
"I'm not interested in your products, ever"
"Go to hell"
etc
They can still, legally, call you.

Only if they are within the jurisdiction or reach of American authorities. Otherwise, they can (and usually do) totally ignore the Do-Not-Call List.

But if you signed up for the state/federal Do Not Call List, they shouldn't have been calling you to begin with, and are subject to fine--if the attorney general can even find them...which they probably can't, because if they were following the law, they wouldn't have called you in the first place.
no, if you do business with them, willingly give them your number, they can call you even if you are on the federal DNC list.

I was referring to the same telemarketer, calling the same number, over and over again, when that household made it clear that they don't want to be disturbed (yes, that happens). In that situation, I don't see how chances of a sale will increase.
