Please Don't allow prerecorded telemarketing calls. Prohibit prerecorded telemarketing calls. I consider prerecorded telemarketing sales calls abusive to my privacy rights. Don't allows a percentage of sales calls to be abandoned, resulting in the annoying dead air calls. It's like being harassed in your own home. They start callsing early in the morning on Saturdays and SUNDAYs. It's not right. I feel my privacy rights are being sold away from me. Just becasue I patronize a place doesn't mean they should have the right to get my phone number and call me for more. I am a consumer not a slave whose been brand as property. I do not want to be subject to prerecorded sales calls or annoying abandoned calls. It's like being a prisoner in my own home. I want to answer my phone but many times I don't becasue of this issue.
