In the last 3 days, I have had a very unusual uptick in the volume of solicitors calling my home number. I'm on the national no-call list and have a land line.
I just got a call again, and thought I'd better go to the no call registry and enter my phone number again, incase it expires after a certain period of time.
So I went to https://www.donotcall.gov
The message on the site says:
Due to the Government shutdown, we are unable to offer this website service at this time. We will resume normal operations when the government is funded.
Debido al cierre del gobierno no podemos ofrecer este servicio telefónico en este momento. Nosotros reanudaremos el funcionamiento normal cuando el gobierno este fianciado.
So now I'm wondering if all those solicitors are using that to their advantage.
