Telemarketers Searching For Do Not Call Loopholes
from the uh...-we're-a-charity? dept
This was predicted, but it appears that less-than-honest telemarketers are getting bolder in their attempts to pretend they qualify for the various loophole exemptions to not have to comply with the federal “Do Not Call” list. Among the things they do is say that they’re a charitable or political organization (both of which are exempt), and then start pitching financial services that are clearly not charitable or political. Expect these calls to become even more common if enforcement from the FTC is slow.

You know,
you would think they would get the idea that since the public has overwhealmingly supported this, since congress and the senate got this law passed in a day, and since the ftc has made it enourmously difficult for them to do this that poeple may not want this service. Maybe? You think?
What about Iraqi telemarketers?
All the young men shooting at our soldiers now could drop their weapons and harrass us another way, via cheap international calls. US telemarketing laws wouldn’t apply to them.
