Comments:
Dear FTC: I firmly believe that changing the rules to prohibit pre-recorded messages would be a huge mistake. First, these sort of messages are not an issue with consumers. They are not intrusive, and are far more preferable to getting a call from a pushy salesperson. Second, we already have Federal and State Do Not Call lists. Anyone who does not want telemarketing calls have already added their names to the DNC List. If they still receive telemarketing calls (pre-recorded or otherwise), then the Telemarketer calling them is breaking the rules right now, and will therefore cheerfully break the proposed new rule prohibiting pre-recorded messages. How about spending our tax dollars enforcing the DNC list? Yours truly, Charlene C
