Oregon: In Oregon, there are laws that protect people from unwanted telemarketing calls and faxes. Telemarketers are not allowed to call people who have put their phone numbers on the Do Not Call list. They also cannot call before 8am or after 9pm. If you receive a telemarketing call that you did not want, you can report it to the state. The same goes for unwanted faxes.
