Do Not Call list starts today
Government regulators at the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, hampered by court decisions from enforcing a national do-not-call registry, yesterday released information on what you can do if called by telemarketers starting today:
• Tell the caller to put your phone number on each company's do-not-call list and keep a record of the name of the company and the date of the call.
• Tell the caller you are on the national do-not-call registry and ask the telemarketer if he has that list. Make a note for your records in case you decide to file a complaint.
• File a complaint with the FCC by e-mail (donotcall@fcc.gov), telephone (888-CALL-FCC) or mail. The complaint should include your name, address and daytime telephone number, the telephone number involved in the complaint, and as much specific information as possible.
