Not sure about MasterCard, but Visa's requirements make it sound like this is prohibited.
Same deal... Ben called offering a free security system to be used as an "advertising home" -- I asked why he is telemarketing to mobiles and he said that would be a great question for the product adviser who would be calling me back. I pressed him to explain why he is telemarketing to mobiles and he was like "I understand your concerns" then just hung up.
Neglected to mention that the number showing from Home Security Group was [protected].
I did some research and found that these calls are being conducted by Revocalize of Utah, and Revocalize publishes their number as [protected] on their website.
I pressed the option for "customer service" and the guy who answered said that indeed they are conducting calls as "Home Security Group" and that they only contact opted-in customers. (I of course said there was no way I was opted in, but that didn't seem to matter.)
Anyhow, if you want some info here you go:

Your complex probably won't do anyhing since they hired Conservice to shift the cost of utilities to you and the other residents. Owners love services like Conservice because they can help them recover some of the costs of vacant units, and allow their utility costs to be easily predicted... while residents can have bills that fluctuate with complex occupancy and the usage of other units. Also note that Conservice's bills state that they are not responsibe for postal delays -- but then charge $3 fees for paying online or by phone.
