FTC FCC FBI IC3
Exhibit A

Legal Framework for Telemarketing

Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, most automated telemarketing calls and texts require the recipient's prior express written consent. Additionally, FTC rules mandate that telemarketers call only between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in the recipient's time zone and clearly identify themselves and the call's purpose. In March 2024, the FTC affirmed that AI-generated voices in illegal robocalls are subject to these existing consumer protection rules.
