Telemarketers are very clever folks. Just because they got slammed with the National Do-Not-Call list doesn¹t mean they¹re packing up their phones to go spamming or phishing. Instead, they are finding innovative ways to trick people into joining an opt-in list. Their latest attempt comes in the form of AdCalls, a Skype-like service that promises free long-distance calls from a PC while you watch ads scroll across the app¹s interface. Too good to be true, you say. You¹re damn right it is. Apparently by accepting AdCalls¹ end-user agreement, you give them permission to compile every number you dial and sell them to advertisers. From AdCalls¹ Privacy Policy: > If you originate a telephone call or send an email message to a third > party, you give us the third party¹s contact information, such as email > address. We complete the call and retain that person¹s information to contact > them later to solicit them to join our AdCalls service or for other purposes. Other purposes?????
