US PayPal users face marketing robot cold calls
Found on BBC News on Thursday, 04 June 2015
The updated PayPal user agreement states: "You consent to receive autodialed or pre-recorded calls and text messages from PayPal at any telephone number that you have provided us or that we have otherwise obtained."
The calls could be on a range of topics, including notifications about their account, troubleshooting and resolving disputes.
But they must also agree to calls that could "poll our opinions through surveys or questionnaires" and "offers and promotions".
Enjoy your wave of spam from your so-called "bank". At times like this you can call yourself lucky if you avoided that company.
