TIPS FOR CONSUMERS WITH DISABILITIES ON STOPPING UNSOLICITED TELEMARKETING
- To stop getting unsolicited telemarketing phone calls at home, write a letter to Telephone Preference Service, Direct Marketing Association, P.O. Box 9014, Farmingdale, New York 11735-9014.
- In your letter, ask them to "Please Remove Me From Your Phone And Mail Lists" per the Federal Communications Commission Rules Under The Telecommunications Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) which has an $11,000 civil penalty for violators.
- Include your name, address, AND the phone number(s) at which you do not wish to get telemarketing calls. Sign your letter.
- You can also say something like the following when you receive an unsolicited telemarketing phone call: "Thank you for calling me. However, under the Telecommunications Consumer Protection Act, I am asking you to add my name and phone number to your Do Not Call List. Please tell your supervisor I have made this request. Thank you."
