As of September 1, 2009 a new Federal Trade Commission rule bans prerecorded sales calls made without a consumer's written consent. This applies to calls that are answered by the consumer or by an answering machine. The permission may be obtained electronically.
The new rule does not prohibit prerecorded messages that are strictly to provide information such as to reconfirm an appointment or a reservation. Also all prerecorded sales calls now must contain an opt out feature at the beginning of the prerecorded message.
My question is how do you report the violators?
