The Do Not Call Software Scrubber
will import the listing of phone numbers on the DO NOT CALL list
as provided at www.donotcall.gov website and
will mark each phone number in Contact Plus with a DNC
designation. The Do Not Call scrubber works by taking as input the
list of phone numbers provided from DoNotCall.Gov and comparing
each phone number with the phone numbers in the contact plus
professional database. It does this on ALL DATABASES in CPPRO.
What if you have an existing relationship with your
customer?
According to the FTC website - For a consumer whose number is on
the registry: A company with which a consumer has an established
business relationship may call for up to 18 months after
the consumer’s last purchase or last delivery, or
last payment, unless the consumer asks the company not to
call again. In that case, the company must honor the request not
to call. If the company calls again, it may be subject to a fine
of up to $11,000.

There are 2 options within the scrubber program:
1) Prepend a "DNC" to the front of the phone number so it's
visually obvious to *not call* the number. I.e. the phone number
919-323-4433 becomes DNC919-323-4433
OR
2) Delete the phone number in Contact Plus Professional
A list of all the names and addresses of the contact records on
the DNC is then produced on a report.
