[asterisk-users] FTC Bans Prerecorded Telemarketing Drivel

[Mark Adams]

Not to sound arrogant but the law is one thing and enforcement is another,
these types of calls have been illegal for a long time and 9 times out of 10
the only penalty one receives is a civil suit by some back yard attorney
looking for a couple thousand bucks. 

Unless that is you are a serious violator and then that's a different story.


Cases I have ever read about are from yahoos that cant maintain a do not
call list or don't even bother to try. 

My 2 cents

So, what if you never bought anything, but ended up as a lead in their 
system through some voluntary action?
