Book: How To Sue A Telemarketer

You too, although understandably trying to make a living, must follow the law.  If a number is on the Do Not Call List and you call it, then you have violated the law!  Shame shame on you and the fines levied on you and/or your company.

Aren't you more of a Customer Service Representative versus a telemarketer?

you just need to get a different job.  If people would stop working as telemarketers, then the problem would go away.

Hmm. Thanks for the idea. I will write a book and you can buy all copies too. Will be big seller. When you have bought all copies, I will print more. This is good business. Thank you for helping.

Ha-ha-ha ;-)))))!!!! Very funny!!!!!! You are breaking the law.

Telemarketers Unite   - Call one another and sell to yourselves -  We dont want your calls !!!!!

>> "you just need to get a different job.  If people would stop working as telemarketers, then the problem would go away."

People will continue being hired as telemarketers as long as there are people out there who buy things from telemarketers. If *everyone* stopped buying whatever telemarketers sell, they would no longer be able to make a profit and would stop calling us. Unfortunately it is the elderly who often get taken by these scams.

Then we would just have to deal with bill collectors and organizations asking for donations.

I want the book or the name of a law firm who will take these cases. I have been on the do not call list from the list's beginning. I have a child who claims their employer knowingly and routinely ignores the "do not call list" because his company's sales are increased by ignoring the list. I have had children who were once telemarket callers what they tell me about the practices sounds like criminal behavior to me. I have complained to the BBB about a telemarketer, the BBB is responsive, the complaint hurts the telemarketer. Several times a telemarketer has claimed to me that they have no compliants at the BBB, .......they do now......but these companies are smart. They have several companies and the complaints rack up on the marketing company rather than the sales or installing or servicing or warrentee or manufacturing companies that the same person owns. All  they have to do is have several marketing companies. I have complained to the FTC many many times and it is a waste of time, they have not been responsive. , By suing a company, we consumers finally have the attention of the telemarketer, we have their wallet. Consumer laws seem to be unenforced by the government. Let us consumers go to the courts for justice. We live in a ridiculous society.

I work for a company that offers its products through telemarketers. Some of yall are such hypocrites! Yall complain left and right about telemarketers but then you turn around and accept the offers? At first, I was on your side, I felt sympathetic for yall. I felt like "ah man, thats messed up these poor people" but then I hear the recording (un-edited) and sure enough there go some of your dumb-ass hypocrites agreeing to all the terms and conditions AND reading off your credit card number. But when you speak to us the story starts off as "I never did this, never authorized this" once we play the recording, the statement changes to "I didnt understand what he/she was saying". So Im thinking, "ok, I guess its ok to give your credit card number if you dont understand something?" Hmmm... Also, I hate to say it, but there ARE some good offers made through telemarketers, mainly on credit cards.

Barthyna, I don't know if you need to buy a book, but then again I don't know.
I am having a problem with this company called BR INTERVIEWING. They are the scum of the earth!!
I have recieved numerous calls from them.  I have gone onto there website and asked to be taken off there list, I have told the person on the phone and I have called the number back.  Nothing.  
So here is what I decided to do.....
They called tonight and I have caller ID.  I picked the phone up, and told them off.  I then went to the FCC site online.  Goodle telemarketer compaint FCC.  I then filed a complaint online.  They gave me a reference page, which I copied and sent to my email and put it in my saved folder, so I will always have it to refer too.
I went to the website of BR INTERVIEWING and told them I have filed a complaint against them.
We shall see what happens.  God help them if they call again.
Tomorrow when I have time, I am going to look to see if I filed a complaint already with the FCC.  Can you believe I can't remember.  If by some reason I can find out if I did, I am going to call the FCC and see what I can do now!
Telemarkets can be dangerous, they can be fraudulent or harmless, but this madness has to stop.

Don't be ridiculous. You have no culpability--only your employer. The offenses for which someone would sue --blocking the caller ID, etc.--are not under your control, either--so again you would be blameless.

Your an idiot.  Legitimate telemarketers subscribe to the do not call list and would not have an issue.

The typical telemarketer is between the age of 20 and 35, possesses few marketable skills and has little education. They usually bounce from one menial job to another and rarely find full-time employment. They have no health care, no pension or benefits of any kind. Most work on commission with a base pay of minimum wage but are often cheated out of their commissions by the employer who hires them.
In nearly all incidences, telemarketers are single and living alone due to their inability to conform with society. Many live with their parents or grandparents because they are unable to support themselves. In nearly all cases, the telemarketer is a under-achiever compared to his siblings who are often more successful.

I can understand that you have to make a living, but when someone is on the Do Not Call List, thats what that means. I am a Realtor and I have to follow the law, so should you.

Amen Nate, add my name to your list!!  I totally agree. A really good comment!  No beatin' around the bush.  Some will say, C'mon Nate, tell them how you really feel!  I think it's perfect from all of us!'

The Do Not Call list is fraudulent at best.  The caller will tell you, Oh, well we are affiliated with a group of businesses, when you buy from one of them it authorizes contact from everyone in their group even tho you never heard of the company.   Somewhere in the fine print, you "accepted" the agreement, and you can take the Do Not Call list and throw it in the trash, they have found a way around it.  Read the agreement sometime from Sears or Macy's, I think it covers anything they sell, even if you only bought a coffee cup, anyone who has merchandise in or is affiliated with these companies can now call.
