If it's legal, it seems like every business would do this. Your bank, the local McDonalds when you install their app, Uber & Lyft, every e-commerce site would bury in the terms & conditions, etc.
- alexb_ 4y agoYou really think that they aren't?
- Rebelgecko 4y agoYes. I've never gotten a phone call from McDonald's.
- alexb_ 4y agoOf course you've never gotten a phone call from McDonald's, but EVERYONE has gotten a scam phone call.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoI have, but I assume they were just wardialing. I don't think I've ever gotten a scam call where they actually knew my name or DOB or anything else that could be associated with the info I put into the McDonald's app (presumably that's what they would be selling... just the existence of a phone # isn't particularly interesting I'd guess)
- drdec 4y agoPlaces you do business with (like your bank) are already allowed to call you regardless of your Do Not Call registry status.
- IncRnd 4y agoIt is legal, and that is exactly what businesses do. The statement was just a notification. Any company you do business with and provide your info can contact you, because you overrode the DNC by giving out your contact information.
- joe_guy 4y agoBeing on the DNC making it so no business ever can call you is a monkey paw wish. Your bank is absolutely permitted to call you regardless of you being on the DNC. You have an existing business relationship with them.
