Instead of just complaining, please post details of the call. My call started off promising "$3000 in savings certificates" and marketed to people 65 and older. The sales call was for a medical alert system and was similar to other calls dating back to June 2013. It said "press 1 now to learn more or press 5 to be placed on a do-not-call list. When I pressed "1" the call ended this time.
If we share information about these calls, we can use it to take them to court, using the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) DECLARATORY RULING Released May 9, 2013. Together you can hold the seller (whoever benefits from the sale) to go after the telemarketer, holding them vicariously liable under federal common law principles of agency for violations of either section 227(b) or section 227(c) of the TCPA that are committed by third-party telemarketers.
