None is foolproof, but all should help reduce the volume of calls. First, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services provides a No Sales Solicitation list. Once your name is on the list, most commercial telemarketers are prohibited by law from calling. The law requires callers to accurately identify themselves and their business names. The list is updated quarterly.
Callers selling newspaper subscriptions also are exempt.
Anyone who is on the list and receives a call that is not exempt should try to obtain as much information as possible from the caller and immediately report it to the department. This list is updated four times a year and made available to telephone marketing companies who choose to use it. Your name remains on file for five years. Maybe Call Box can help. Call Box, P.O.
