Re: DO NOT CALL - loophole
Just goes to prove the old adage - there is no such thing as a free 12-pack.  |

Re: DO NOT CALL - loophole
That seems like very shady action on the part of Coca Cola and Pepsi. Perhaps stop supporting those companies?  |

And drink... what?
OoooooH! You can drink IBC root beer, cherry limeade, and cream soda.
Or Stewarts. They have the best cream soda EVER.

Re: DO NOT CALL - loophole
The promise of "Coke or Pepsi" 12 pack is the bait.
These two companies may not be involved.

Re: DO NOT CALL - loophole
Actually if it's true at all it's not likely that Coke or Pepsi have anything to do with it. I have never heard of those companies doing any sort of cross-promotion like that before anyway. It's damn rare to find even a soda machine with both types in it. You never see resturants that offer both kinds.
At best it's just this scum bag spam company footing the bill for the 12-packs. At worst you won't even get the 12-pack as promised but they will be happy to keep your authorization on file thank you very much.

Re: DO NOT CALL - loophole
In which case, Coke or Pepsi (or both) might be interested in taking some sort of legal action against these turkeys...

Re: DO NOT CALL - loophole
I have seen the start of another way around the list. One of the exclusions is for charity calls. I received a call from the local paper asking me to sign up, and saying that they are having a promotion to donate a portion of the proceeds to charity for each person that signs up. I suspect that there will be many such charitible promotions going on once the "Do Not Call" list goes into effect.
