You are incorrect. Since purpose of the call is to generate a sale, now or in the future, the caller is a telemarketer selling goods. For example, the fake survey calls leading to a "free" 2-day cruise to the Bahamas are telemarketing calls due to the fees tacked on to the cruise which make it anything but free. The purpose of claiming a fake survey or free estimate is an exemption is to deter call recipeints from pursuing their rights.
Got this call on 2/4 at 3:32 pm.
She said she was "Tiffany" at "Diamond Builders".
I told her we were on the DNC list and she said "What's that?"
She then got cocky and rude about it not working very well.
Obviously it's NOT working very well!
