Comments:
Rules need to be toughened on telemarketing companies - not eased up on. Please do not allow automated messaging - my God, we are on the do not call list and still receive way too many telemarketing calls. Yes, these calls are from people we have done business with but you know what?! If I need them - I will contact them - at my chosen time which probably won't be 6:30 pm!!! Rules on companies consumers have done business with should be tightened - companies should have to request OUR permission to call us - everyone knows it is not a "courtesy call" - it's a sales call!!!! I am a stay at home mom now after working in corporate America for 20 years - I answer the phone more now than I did in my office!!!!!(and that was a lot!) Thank you for your time and attention.
