New Spam Treath

Getting Around Spam Laws
Companies are getting around anti-spam laws by calling consumers and hanging up after the first ring. The consumer then calls the number back in an effort to discover whose call they missed. Upon dialing the number, consumers are confronted with an answering service that promises them a free gift if they leave their details and phone number. This call is paid for by the consumers themselves. The spammers then call the consumer back, no longer violating anti-spam laws, because the consumer himself provided his details to the spammer. Many of the companies then promote their free gift, which of course can be shipped for an exorbitant fee costing more than the worth of the gift itself.
