It was a pre-recorded call that violated California Public Utilities Code section 2874(a) «Whenever telephone calls are placed through the use of an automatic dialing-announcing device, the device may be operated only after an unrecorded, natural voice announcement has been made to the person called by the person calling». Additionally I am on the permanent«do-not-call» list. California could increase revenue by enforcing the penalties in section 2876, a fine not to exceed $ 500 for each violation.
