Annoyed by Prerecorded Sales Calls?

Sales calls can be annoying, but the prerecorded ones are also illegal.

"Hello, are your carpets dirty?" the recording begins, offering prices "as low as $9.95 a room."

So who's behind the recorded phone messages?

A Call Kurtis investigation has learned robocalls have been outlawed for years, but some companies haven't gotten the message.

"Something's really shady here, and we just have to get to the bottom of it," Kurtis told a company allegedly caught using robocalls to ramp up business.

Tonight at 10, Call Kurtis goes undercover to confront the company. You'll find out why officials aren't doing more to stop the calls and find out if there's anything you can do.

See the investigation tonight on the CBS13 News at 10.
