Excerpt from The Know Your Caller Act of 1999 and the Telemarketing Victim Protection Act of 1999: Hearing Before the Committee on Telecommunications, Trade, and Consumer Protection of the Committee on Commerce, House of Representatives; June 13, 2000 Capitol Police at their disposal, but I fortunately did. I called the Ca itol Police. My concern was - I called my telephone company as we 1. My concern was that perhaps my telephone was being used as a conduit for some illicit activity or perhaps some scam and that this computer was using my telephone and my telephone number for some bad purpose. I didn't know. How could I know? The Capitol Police chased it down for me and thankfully shut it down. I am no longer bothered by these calls from British Colum bia. But I get a lot of calls that say just personal, unavailable. I don't know who is calling. I can't call them back to tell them qui bothering me; and yet, at the same time, every now and then I get a call from someone who is telling me about a product or service I am really interested in.
