Have you ever answered the phone and heard a recorded message instead of a live person? That is a Robocall. They use a computerized autodialer to deliver pre-recorded messages. The Robocalls lack a personal touch and are mainly associated with telemarketing and political phone campaigns. However, unless you have given a written permission for a company to call you, any robocall that tries to sell you something is illegal. The two main types of robocalls that are legal are political calls about a candidate and charities seeking donations.
