My Sunday column follows up on my rant last month about a rude telemarketer who interrupted my domestic tranquility. For a brief moment last week, I thought Whistleblower truly had some juice. I found myself on a teleconference with the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, who had alerted the media about his agency’s legal bludgeoning of a rogue telemarketing scheme. Alas, it wasn’t Whistleblower’s tantrum - but those of two U.S. senators, Chuck Schumer and Mark Warner, who finally felt the people’s rage when they got calls on their cell phones offering the warranty extensions.Judging by the comments on my column, telemarketers are not beloved by Whistleblower readers.

You have to know the date of the call, and the name of the company or the number you were called from.
