*** US FEDERAL LAW: USC 47.5.II.227 Illegal to send UNSOLICITED messages
to a device having a computer, modem, printer, and ability to print
images. FINE: not less than $500 PER RECIPIENT. Other laws may also apply.

This also covers telemarketing calls.
You may be able to recover $500 to $1500 if you sue in small claims
court, and if they are in the same state that you are in.
