Know how to tell difference
between honest calls and fraud
Know Your Telemarketing Rights
How do you know if
a telemarketing call is a
scam? That friendly voice
on the phone may belong
to an honest salesperson
who is just trying to make
a living or a crook who
wants to trick you out of
your money.
Three-quarters of the
adults recently surveyed
by Consumer Federation
of America (CFA) said that
they think it is hard for
most consumers to tell the
difference. And while nine
in ten are concerned that
telemarketing calls from
companies they haven’t
done business with before
might be fraudulent, many
do not know their basic
telemarketing rights.
Knowing your telemarketing rights can help you
spot fraud, because legitimate companies usually
follow the rules; scammers
don’t. Is an unfamiliar
company calling you even
though your phone number is on the National Do
Not Call Registry? Is it a
recorded sales pitch when
you never gave the company written permission to
make that type of “robocall” to you? Is the company’s number blocked
on your caller ID? CFA’s
new guide to Understanding Your Telemarketing
Rights and Avoiding Fraud
explains what telemarketers should and shouldn’t
do and how you can report violations. If the telemarketer is violating your
rights, STOP! HANG UP!
It may be a scam.
Other danger signs of
telemarketing fraud include:
• Pressure to act immediately or you’ll lose this
great opportunity
• Promises that you can
make easy money working
from home
• Offers to help you get a
loan, fix your credit record,
settle your debts, save your
home from foreclosure or
recover money you’ve already lost to a scam, if you
pay a fee in advance
• Guarantees that you
can make big returns on
investments with little or
no risk
• Requests that you pay
a fee to enter a sweepstakes or lottery or send
money for taxes, bonding,
or legal expenses to claim
your winnings. It’s also
a danger sign if a prize is
being offered as part of a
sales pitch and the telemarketer doesn’t tell you that
no purchase is necessary.
Another clue is how
you’re asked to pay. Fraudsters usually want to get
paid fast and in cash—they
don’t want to wait for
checks to clear or for payments to go through the
credit card system, so they
look for other ways to get
the money. If a telemarketer has money transfer
as the only method of payment it accepts, beware!
Those services should only
be used to send money to
companies you know and
trust and to individuals you
have met in person. You
should always have the
choice of whether to use
money transfers or other
ways to pay.
Scammers may even
suggest that you put cash
between the pages of a
magazine and send it to
them. Legitimate telemar-
keters would never ask you
to do that. They are also
exploiting new payment
methods, telling people to
send them the money on
a prepaid card or to put it
on a MoneyPak, a product
that can be used to transfer funds to prepaid cards
or make payments to authorized merchants, and
give them the serial number. Their aim is to cash in
and disappear before you
realize that you’ve been
robbed.
Crooks are also taking
advantage of prepaid cell
phones, Internet phone service, caller ID “spoofing”
and other technologies to
mask who and where they
are. Often, they’re in foreign countries, making it
difficult for U.S. law enforcement to pursue them.
Since money sent to scammers is often gone for
good, learn how to protect
yourself from telemarketing fraud and other scams
