The FCC Considers Ramping Up Crusade Against “Robo Callers”
February 8th, 2010. Published under Fraud, Scams. No Comments.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) already has regulations concerning the use of automated (predictive) dialers to cellular phone numbers. The FCC has proposed several new regulations that would curtail the use of automated pre-recorded message dialers and automated dialing systems. If adopted, the changes to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act would limit the use of prerecorded calls and automatic telephone dialing systems. The stricter guidelines proposed by the FCC on Jan. 20 have debt-collection companies in an uproar. Right now, non-sellers can make “autodialed” or prerecorded calls to wireless numbers. The ARM or “account receivable management” professionals claim they had consumers’ “prior express consent” for those calls when the customer provided a cell phone number on a credit application. Debt collectors have expressed outrage about the plan on insider Web sites. A few suggested suing debtors as a way to get even for the new restrictions . Some blamed voting in liberal Democrats when Republicans have been “traditionally better for the ARM (Accounts Receivable Management) industry.” ~ source Delco Times If adopted debt collectors are suggesting they will sue consumers in retribution if the new guidelines are approved, even though it is the US Government taking the action. This is exactly why I (Allen Harkleroad) wrote the book, “ Stick it to Sue Happy Debt Collectors ”. I say let them sue and then the consumer can beat them in court. It is a sad fact that only one out of ten consumers respond to a debt lawsuit, and 90 percent (or more) the debt collector had not physical proof that a debt is owed. It is time for the bad lawsuits to go away, consumers must fight for their rights.

The following email has been circulating around the internet in many guises for several years, but I still find it amusing. Dear Microsoft Technical Support, I am desperate for some help. I recently upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that the new program began giving unexpected errors and also took up a lot of space and valuable resources. This wasn’t mentioned in the product brochure. In addition Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Boys Night Out 2.5, and Cricket 5.3 no longer run and crash the system whenever selected. Attempting to operate Saturday Sports Bar 6.3 always fails but Saturday Shopping 7.1 runs instead. I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background whilst attempting to run any of my favorite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend7.0 but uninstall doesn’t work on this program. With regards, ……………….. THE REPLY: – This is a very common problem resulting from a basic misunderstanding. Many men upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program. Whereas Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM designed by its creator to run everything. You are unlikely to be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0 as Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this and it is impossible to uninstall, delete or purge the program files from the system once installed. Some people have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or wife 2.0 but have ended up with even more problems. (See in manual under alimony Support and Solicitors Fees). Having Wife 1.0 installed myself I recommend you keep it installed and deal with the difficulties as best you can. When any faults or problems occur, whatever you think has caused them, you must run the C: I APOLOGISE.bat program and avoid attempting to use the *Esc-key. It may be necessary to run C: I APOLOGISE.bat a number of times but hopefully eventually the operating system will return to normal. Wife 1.0 although a very high maintenance program can be very rewarding. To get the most out of it consider buying additional software such as Flowers 2.0 and Chocolates 5.0. Do not under any circumstances install Secretary36.24.36 (Short Skirt version) as this is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and the system will almost certainly crash. Thank you for using the program!! I received the latest version this morning and it reminded me why I’m getting divorced.. I just couldn’t bring myself to run the I APOLGISE.bat program which she requested, even when she was the one in the wrong If you haven’t been able to work it out, the above is, of course, an email hoax and not a genuine reply from Microsoft.
