Answered the phone call, and no one was there at first, and then the automated voice stated, "Congratulations, this is the loan department, your business..."
The message left on a city business phone on 02/05/2015 @ 1855 = "Local police recommend you protect your home. If you will allow us to place a small sign in your yard, we will install a new security system at absolutely no cost to you whatsoever. There is no cost for the system or the installation whatsoever." (Silverdale, WA 360-633-9313). On call-back, it's busy.
Annoying security company saying they will install a security system free, no charge, if we allow them to put a sign in our yard. (Yeah, right...)
Listened to the entire message thinking a "remove me from your calling list" existed. (It does not exist.) Only option is to place on my phone's block list.
STOP THE MADNESS!
I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH YOUR COMPANY!!

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.
