How does it lack integrity? They are likely violating a federal law. The federal government provides penalties for this illegal action. Here is a link to FCC.gov with pertinent info, and then below is a summary from Google. You don't have to do anything about it (like I said, I haven't done anything about it) but maybe you would be less annoyed if you took action and got paid for the illegal inconvenience they are causing to you. I thought I was helping you, not sure why you are attacking me. I really don't care what you do, "bro."

------------------------------

Federal laws, primarily the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR), strictly regulate spam calls, requiring prior express consent for robocalls and allowing consumers to register for the National Do Not Call Registry. Key rules prohibit calls before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., mandate caller ID, and forbid artificial voices or autodialed calls without written permission. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Key Federal Regulations on Spam Calls

• TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act): Prohibits most autodialed or prerecorded calls/texts to cell phones and residential lines without prior express written consent.
• National Do Not Call Registry: Mandates that telemarketers refrain from calling numbers registered for more than 31 days.
• TSR (Telemarketing Sales Rule): Enforced by the FTC, this rule prohibits deceptive practices, requires prompt identification of the caller, and mandates the disclosure of sales information.
• Truth in Caller ID Act: Prohibits spoofing (displaying false caller ID info) with the intent to defraud or cause harm. [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Allowed vs. Prohibited Calls

• Illegal: Most pre-recorded telemarketing calls (robocalls) to cell phones or landlines without written consent.
• Allowed: Non-telemarketing calls (e.g., flight cancellations, bank alerts), calls with prior express consent, or calls from entities with which you have an established business relationship (though they must stop if you request it). [1, 2, 4, 10, 11]

How to Take Action

• Register: Sign up at donotcall.gov.
• Report: File complaints for violations with the FCC or FTC .
• Damages: Under the TCPA, consumers may be able to sue for $\$500$ to $\$1,500$ per illegal call. [1, 5, 8, 12, 13]
