Your average MLMer won't care about the Do Not Call list. In the case
we're talking about, they can also claim a pre-existing business
arrangement with the person, which is all that's needed to bypass it.
As for the suggestion about what to do, Paine has a good point about how
these people don't realize what they're doing. On the other hand, it
is worth considering: if we tied up their resources so they spend time
with us, does that help reduce their effectiveness in the long run?
Especially if they spend a lot of time reeling us in and get a
rejection at the end? What is the limit in terms of tying up or
reducing the effectiveness of an MLMer so they're likely to see the
problem with their MLM sooner or so they don't have as much time to
recruit those who don't know about the scam?
