		<description>Your hyperlinks seem to have been disabled, but going directly to the national consumer database site: http://www.dmasa.org/    and clicking on the left margin &#039;opt out&#039; button seemed to work. They do need a confirmation email too, so I entered the one I send spam to, then visited it to confirm. 

If you don&#039;t have one of these, it&#039;s worth creating a useless email address to give when forced to add a working email address to people you believe will spam you. Once every few months I just visit it to delete all and empty trash. You don&#039;t even need to remember a difficult password, &#039;coz it doesn&#039;t really matter if it gets hacked.</description>

		<description>Filled in the details in the Do not contact link but it would not send.  The other link gives me a Server Error in &#039;/DMA&#039; Application. I wonder if this has something to do with Telkom. I cannot remove my details from any of the databases. :(</description>

		<description>Hi

To get your details off consumer databases, what you need to do is fill in the two forms we&#039;ve linked to in the article.  As far as we know, doing so makes it a legal requirement for marketing companies to check their list against the list of people who have opted out, and remove those names.

It doesn&#039;t work perfectly, but I personally noticed a dramatic decrease in cold calls after a few weeks, especially from phone companies and insurance companies.  My bank continued to harass me.</description>

		<description>&quot;They ask for a lot of information – the only essentials are your name and ID number. Do not give the scumbags any more than they need.&quot;

You statement is more into protect your information however your subject is &quot;How do you get your contact off the database.

Plz let me know how do i get my contact off their database as it is already there?</description>

		<description>I just had a call from a Miway Insurance cronie! She did not want to identify herself, neither did she want to tell me from which consumer database she got my details. I suggest we get the media to focus on the pompous idiots that BUY this information, just because they are too damn lazy to get off their fat, lazy behinds and do their own cold calling!!!</description>

		<description>Its the national identity number that&#039;s only given to South African citizens or residents. So if you&#039;ve never been here you won&#039;t have one.

I don&#039;t think it is a required field, but if it is, just make up a 13 digit number starting with YYMMDD (year, month, day - make up a date of birth basically) and then 7 other numbers.</description>

		<description>I have been listed on the dmasa.org dnc for more than a year. In recent months many companies have started to ignore this list and are still contacting me. I try and get company information before I throw the etc act at then but as soon as I ask them for the source of their database the end the call. 

It fully expect Ruthless companies to simply keep doing what they are doing. I have learnt that if the phone number is hidden its a cold call.</description>

		<description>No problem - also you should try that trick with appending +XYZ to your email address to track who is selling your info on.  Only works with gmail, but say you sign up for something at Standard Bank, you give your email address as name+standardbank@gmail.com - it&#039;ll still send emails to name@gmail.com, but they will have the +standardbank attached to the email address they have for you.  When you ask the cold caller what email they have for you, if they give you the +standardbank one, you&#039;ll know Standard Bank sold them your info.  Then you sue them for enough money to buy your own island.</description>
