It's unbelievable how people use all this "marketing strategies" that 
annoy people far away the limit. Fortunately, nobody here in Colombia is 
doing such a thing (as least on cell phones, because on landlines I've 
heard cases of calls about winning a car to con people), I would be very 
angry to receive a call with this type of ugly advertising. I usually 
accept to receive only call per month, reminding my pendant cell phone 
bill, and I have enough with all the SMS garbage (sometimes I get three 
on a day) that I receive from my cell phone operator.

If this type of calls problem keeps growing, we would need to maintain 
an asterisk at home just to block them.
