<P>. but according to a Federal Trade Commission report issued today its a
<P>crime that keeps on growing. Nearly 4 million people filed official federal
<P>complaints about telemarketing last year. up by a million.
<P>Why the jump?  Easy access. Technology.
<P>SOT NAT SOUND DEMO 15418 "A FEW CLICKS."
<P>Entire websites designed to set up do it yourself robocall blasts. 4 cents a
<P>call. millions if i want.
<P>155220 CREATE THE RECORDING, PUSH ANOTHER BUTTON

<P>"THESE ARE ILLEGAL TELEMARKETING PITCHES AND OUR GOAL IS TO STOP THEM."
