LIR: does the FTC anti-robocall rule include political messages? reminders from Docs and libraries? or just sales pitches?

somehow I don't think it will detir the auto warranty and credit card scammers because what htey are doing is illegal anyway, I'm committing massive in your face fraud, I'm going to care about a no robo call rule?

Responses:

it's $16k fine per illegal call. as i understand the rule, you can only robo-call people with whom you have a written agreement -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 9, 21:54 6
