What You Can Do
Crooked telemarketers who rip off consumers commit a crime.
Decide now - before a crook calls you - to report suspicious telemarketing calls and unwanted repeated mail advertisements to your state attorney general and your local postal inspector.
You may also use the Federal Trade Commission's consumer complaint form to report suspicious calls, mail or advertising appeals.
If you have not already done so, sign up on the National Do Not Call Registry. Telemarketers who continue to call after you have registered are subject to penalties.
And don't forget the power you have to simply hang up the phone when a stranger calls trying to sell you something you don't want.
More Steps to Take
Ask telemarketers you have doubts about for their company's name and address and a phone number where you can call back-if you want to and at a time you choose.
Call the local consumer protection service in your area and in the state or city where the company is located. Ask if any complaints have been made against the firm.
Ask about the company's refund policies.
Ask the caller to send written material to study before you make a purchase.
Call the local consumer protection service in your area and in the state or city where the company is located. Ask if any complaints have been made against the firm.
Talk to family and friends or call your lawyer, accountant or banker and get their advice before you make any large purchase or investment on the phone with a stranger.
Finally tell the caller to remove your telephone number from telemarketing lists. If the calls continue, contact the Federal Trade Commission's Do Not Call Registry complaint line. It's illegal to call you again after you have asked to be removed from a list.
