Boy, these tele-marketers are smart.

Anrufe – einschließlich das Senden von Fernkopien – zu
Werbezwecken ohne vorherige Einwilligung des Teilnehmers sind
unzulässig. (§107 Abs 1 TKG)

Don’t speak german? It’s the austrian Telekommunikationsgesetz (Telecommunications Act) that prohibits any sales calls to anyone that hasn’t explicitly agreed to be called.
So, now they’re calling it a lottery, you can win this or that if you answer that one question or some other or I don’t know because I stopped listening after 5 seconds.
I wonder if the courts will share the telemarketers interpretation of the law …
