Snake oil salesfolks climb over dead bodies of suckers while laughing in the face of all this wonderful legislation meant to protect consumers from being suckered in. In years past I figured one way to make things more costly for these shucksters is by calling their toll free numbers time and again, for which each incoming call had a minimum fee. As soon as someone answered hang up. It is amazing how easy it is to automated that process with about any scriptable (is that a real word?) telecom app, like ProComm. Not that I would do anything like that, as it is clearly unethical.
Oh, this perhaps ought to be OT, except it did start as an Apple ad being pulled. I guess Apple did not have any fine print in the lower right of the display saying the ad represents a best case situation, your speed may vary due to a number of conditions which we can easily explain away in mind numbing detail.
