.inPacifica.comThe STOP SPAM links on this page will take you to the best anti-SPAM and telemarketing information
sites I have been able to find. With the advent of new Federal laws, the state government links are no
longer as important, but they also have useful information for combatting SPAM generated by local
companies.
The new National Do Not Call list also is available at the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.donotcall.gov.
