Thank you for bringing this matter up, because this is completely false. It is a myth. There is no evidence that telemarketers purchased the list for the purpose of telemarketing. I do not see why they would have done this. This is a list of people who do not want to be called. If you were a telemarketer, why would you buy this list? Obviously, you would not make a single sale. So why buy it? Why waste the money?
Secondly, I read the same thing in the newspaper, but there was never any evidence that a telemarketer, either nationally or internationally, purchased the list in order to call these people. There are some doubts about the fact that there have been violations, and we are in a process of doing an investigation, but to say that someone purchased the list for a perverse reason is a myth. I do not know where this comes from, but it is false. Nevertheless, we have taken additional measures in order to safeguard the list.
Mr. Traversy will explain what we are doing.
