I asked the guys who run coloradonocall.com that question,
specifically:

Q: "I added my numbers to the list. What's to prevent an unscrupulous
telemarketer from removing it?"

The answer was unencouraging.  Without mentioning any names or
including any headers, the answer was:

A: "Nothing -- although they would have to know your name and your
Zip." (sic)


They usually DO know your name and zip code...and complete mailing
address...and sometimes have your credit card number ALREADY.  They're
just 'honest' enough to get a "yes" before charging you.

This is a great first start, but it still has some flaws.
