Even though I am registered with the Do-Not-Call list, I still periodically get a call from an unknown number which turns out to be an unsolicited sales call. (Usually in Spanish, for some reason.) I typically use Google to try and track down these numbers, but now there is a new website that can be of more direct help. The Website CallerComplaints.Com is a free site where consumers aggregate their experiences with Do-Not-Call Scofflaws so that the rest of us can know who left that unanswered call number on our caller id. Click on over and check it out the next time you are not sure who is calling.

Did you know you can OPT OUT of pre-approved Credit Offers?

I am a big fan of the Federal DO-NO-CALL list to keep telemarketers away from your landline.

As well as the likelihood of becoming a slave to the debt-cycle.

Updated 2:34 PM: Please be aware that this site does ask for your social security number - which causes many people to question its veracity. As indicated by this anti-fraud site, it is legit AND does NOT require you to give the SSN. If you are concerned, just don't give that info.
