You know the kind you’re greeted with by a recorded message instead of a human being?

Great question, as they’ve been hounding me recently, and it feels illegal.
I get that from bots making attempts to collect a debt but never from sales bots. And I am on Do not call registry. That helps out a lot. It’s probably legal but a soul less bot prompter isn’t going to get many sales over the phone I wouldn’t think. Shop on line if you want to avoid speaking with bots or anyone really. https://www.donotcall.gov/
Yeah it’s legal, it’s called a dialer. But it can be used for telemarketers, but they can’t call you If you are on the do not call list. But if you owe a debt, the do not call list does not count, because a company is trying to get their money.
It’s not legal for them to call you if you are on the Do Not Call List
If you’re not on the list, you should sign up!
