In​ 2003, the U.S. government created a​ "Do Not Call​ Registry" and forbade marketing firms from calling people who placed their names on this list.​ Today, an increasing number of companies are sending mail solicitations to individuals inviting them to send back an enclosed postcard for more information about the​ firms' products. What these solicitations fail to mention is that they are worded in such a way that someone who returns the postcard gives up protection from telephone​ solicitations, even if they are on the​ government's "Do Not Call​ Registry." In what type of behavior are these companies​ engaging? Explain your answer.

Providing information regarding the registry as follow

Step-by-step explanation:

The firms who are sending the solicitation mail to the individuals are legally following the regulations of "do not call registry'.

The firms do not call to the individuals who have placed their respective name on the registry, but instead they use the alternative method to reach out the people.

The main intent of the government regulations is violated by the marketing firms since they send mails to people providing information regarding the production.
