Privacy Corps Site Offers Devices to Deter Telephone Solicitors
Cheerfully declaring "everyone hates telemarketers -- including us!" Privacy Corps yesterday announced the launch of its new Web site that specializes in electronic devices designed to screen telephone solicitation calls.One product featured is the TeleZapper, the $49.95 device produced by Royal Appliance Manufacturing that mimics a tone for which predictive dialers listen to weed out disconnected telephone numbers.
Other products include the $29.97 Phone Butler, which screens calls and tells telemarketers to put the number on their do-not-call list; the $49.97 Call Screener, which can send messages to telemarketers as well as emit dialer-discouraging tones; and the TriVOC VN100 unit, which for $69.97 creates an extension number that can be attached to its own answering device and can be used for screening.
The site, www.privacycorps.com, offers a 90-day guarantee on all its products. The , Lake Tahoe, NV-based company also offers a free monthly newsletter and a rewards program for referrals.
