Do Not Call

April 26th, 2012 by flanews

Bad news tonight for telemarketers. Since our story Tuesday about the state waiving signup fees for its Do Not Call List tens of thousands of people have registered. 110-thousand phone numbers were added to the list in just the past four days. Adam Putnam, the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services says since there is no longer a signup fee, his department will have to collect more money from telemarketers.

“We are certainly losing some revenue on the elimination of the fee, but we can make it up on the direct administration or imposition of the fines of telemarketers who violate the Do Not Call Registry,” said Putnam.

The list is updated four times a year, at the beginning of each quarter. So if a number is added now, telemarketers can still call until July.
