If you can locate the vendor who is calling, you can take them to court. An update to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act have given consumers new powers against telemarketers.
All telemarketing calls, except those manually dialed that do not contain a recorded message, are now prohibited without the consumer's prior written consent. (The rule also applies to calls made to cellphones and text messages.)
The established-business-relationship exemption has been eliminated.
Penalties for failing to comply with TCPA regulations are $500 for every unsolicited call or text message, $1,500 if the telemarketer "willfully or knowingly" sends it after the consumer opts out.
