Telephone Solicitations
If you have a telephone number, even if it is not publicly listed, you will get telephone calls from people trying to sell you something. A key indication that a call is a commercial solicitation is if the telephone rings, you answer, and no one comes to the phone for several seconds. If you don't like these calls, you have a right to request that the company or charity not call you again. If you just want to hang up the telephone, you don't have to say anything, just quietly hang up. The solicitor will go on to the next call rather than call you back. You also have the option of registering your telephone number with the national “Do Not Call Registry.” Next Section: Fraudulent Telemarketers Public Services II: Chapter Home
