Category: Illegal Telemarketing
Illegal Telemarketing refers to practices that violate regulations set by authorities such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. It includes activities such as calling numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry, using deceptive or misleading information, and making prerecorded voice messages without proper consent. Additionally, illegal telemarketing may involve fraudulent schemes, such as pretending to be a government official or offering false prizes or rewards. These practices are prohibited to protect consumers from harassment and fraud, and violators can face significant fines and legal action.
