Yes. Since Dec. 1 the Federal Trade Commission has required all prerecorded telemarketing calls to include a "quick and easy" opt-out system to stop future calls by that company. Typically, for calls you answer., that means saying a certain word or pressing a number. Messages left on your voice mail must have a toll-free number that connects to an automated opt-out system. Any prerecorded sales or fundraising calls that do not meet these criteria are subject to fines. File complaints at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov or call 1-877-382-4357 Toll-free.
