"Telemarketers are required to maintain company-specific
"Do-Not-Call" lists. When you receive a call from a telemarketer and
you wish to be placed on its "Do-Not-Call" list, simply say so. It is
illegal for a telemarketer to call if you have asked not to be called.
Such businesses are also restricted to making calls between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Finally, if you decide to hang up on
a pre-recorded call, you must be able to regain use of your own
phone for outgoing calls within five seconds of the hang up."
By law if You tell them to put You on a Do Not Call List, they can not call You for a year. And if they do they are liable to a lawsuit, first violation about $200.
