Telemarketing Many people enjoy receiving information about products or services in their homes over the telephone.
Many consumers find telephone shopping to be a convenient way to shop.
However, some consumers would like to receive fewer telephone marketing calls. The Public Utility Commission has rules in place to protect consumers from unscrupulous telephone sales solicitors. This rule does not include calls from non-profit organizations, media subscription services, or a business soliciting a former or current customer. Get the name of the solicitor and purpose of the call before giving any information. If you return a call from a solicitor, be cautious when leaving your name and phone number on their voice mail.
