Do Not Call Registry vs data removal

The registry is free and worth joining. It just does not do what most people think.

What the registry does

It tells legitimate telemarketers not to call you. Businesses that follow the law check it.

What it cannot do

Scammers ignore it. They work from purchased lists and people-search sites.

Where removal fits

Removal takes your number off the sources those lists are built from. Use both.
