‘Do-Not-Call’ Complaints Investigated
- Share via
U.S. regulators said they were investigating some of the 2,379 consumer complaints they had received about unwanted calls from telemarketers in the first week of enforcing a national “do-not-call” list.
The Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission issued the progress report a day after a federal appeals court reinstated the FTC’s authority to compile the list for both agencies. The FTC is empowered to fine telemarketers as much as $11,000 per violation of its rules.
The FTC will reopen registrations for the list today.
