7 Things You Should Know About Stopping Annoying Telemarketing Sales Calls Unsolicited telemarketing sales calls, SPAM email, and Federal do-not-call legislation are some of the most heated topics in our society today. But, with all the outcry of anger and impatience with telemarketing DNC, many consumers are still not taking the proper steps to ensure telemarketing calls are stopped in their tracks. 1. national dnc The National or Federal Do-Not-Call act stipulates that telemarketers must not call anyone who's number appears on the Federal DNC registry. But there are loopholes in this act that allow telemarketers to keep calling you. 2. do not call legislation The problem with the wording of the legislation is it allows telemarketing call centers to keep calling your number unless you specifically ask to be placed on the list. Also, it takes three to six months for your number to register at the Federal registry. This allows for telemarketers calls within this window of time. 3. state legislation Although state legislation makes it harder for telemarketers to call, most states do not have laws already in place, and in the states where laws are in place they are being challenged by powerful telemarketing lobbyist. Also, your name is not automatically added to the state DNC list just because it is added to the federal DNC, and vice versa. 4. stopping telemarketing calls Stopping telemarketing calls when they happen is the best way to terminate their rights to ever call you again! 5. removing name from telemarketing list The ONLY way to effectively terminate a telemarketer's right to call you is to specifically ASK to be removed from their list. YOU MUST DEMAND to have your number placed on their DNC list! 6. violations Although legislation has slowed telemarketing calls, it hasn't stopped it. Violations are still rampant because unaware consumers are still not making the correct request and it's hard to prove that the consumer specifically asked for their name or number to be placed on the DNC list. Simply asking not to be called or saying you're not interested is not enough. You should be able to prove you asked specifically to be removed from the telemarketers list! 7. penalties for violation federal dnc Once all measure have been taken by the consumer to prove their request to be placed on the telemarketing company's DNC List, the penalties for any company violating such a request can be stiff. This year, AT & T and other telemarketing companies received hefty fines when it was proven they knowingly violated the consumer's DNC rights. Fines for a first-time offense can start at a hefty $11,000!
