Every year in all parts of each state, both of these companies illegally trespass to dump their worthless advertising books on private property. They claim that they're empowered to do so and mandated by the FCC. The FCC claims otherwise. If one doesn't want their garbage you're told to "opt out" of their system. Two things wrong with this-1) they ignore the "request" and 2) why the F*K do I have to contact them to not get their landfill? Do you go into a supermarket and get charged for milk if you don't buy it? It's the same stupid logic they hope you'll swallow. Not only that but here in Florida, we have snowbirds who will be away for many months while opportunistic criminals can plainly see who's not home. Why are we allowing the destruction of our natural resources (trees for paper, fouling of waterways for the ink) to continue this abuse? Most people don't use these books anyway, well, not unless they have to prop up a too short table leg. It's the 21 century - people use the inter net (not inner net as most of the people in their office pronounce it) to get quicker and more accurate results. Those who don't have a computer can't read and have no one to call anyway. If their advertisers found out how many people hate them they wouldn't waste their money in the first place.By the way, if you decide to complain, check your bills carefully for "add - on" that you never ordered or services you didn't use. It's their way to "get back" at you. Complaining to the public service commission is also BS since they're in bed with these companys. The company will call you back after a complaint is filed. This should have been done long before you had to waste the time trying to get them to stop in the first place. While i'm at it - if you always get the recording that states "that due to an unnaturally high call volume..." it's not unnatural - it always. If your call is so important to them, why am i waiting for a human to pick up the phone? My call isn't being recorded for "quality service, " if it were i wouldn't have to have my head nearly explode like in the movie "scanners" and you would have gotten the "quality" part down by now. It's for when those customers say something stupid or illegal for the company to haul your ass into court. Oh yeah, we all know this by now. Unfortunately, this won't ever change because the company is much smarter and has much more money than us. Politicians are in their pockets too. How else can you explain that it's illegal for some poor schmuck to call you to sell his product but it's okay for any political party to bother you with calls about"the other guy" that they're running against? Excuse me, i need to take an aspirin.
