Comments:
I do not agree with the FTC's proposed amendment to the Telemarketing Sales Rule to create an additional call abandonment safe harbor to allow telemarketing calls that deliver a prerecorded message to consumers with whom the seller on whose behalf the calls are made has an established business relationship. I am retired (meaning I'm at home most of the time) and these calls are an invasion of my privacy and home. I do not agree with the Direct Marketing Association petition which states - the Commission seeks public comment on a petition submitted by the Direct Marketing Association to amend the TSR’s call abandonment safe harbor provision that currently requires use of technology that ensures abandonment of no more than three (3) percent of all calls answered by a person, - measured per day per calling campaign - substituting the phrase - measured over a 30-day period..-
