Telemarketers Top 2012 Complaints

December 28th, 2012 by flanews

Floridians are fed up with telemarketers and in 2012 they picked up their phones to let the state know. Today the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services released a list of the top 10 complaints its consumer hotline and website received this year. The department received 190-thousand calls and 33-thousand emails about telemarketers. Amanda Bevis, a spokeswoman for the Department, says many of the complaints were from people who’ve already registered their number with the state’s Do Not Call List.

“We do have a Florida Do Not Call List. People can submit their phone numbers so they don’t receive calls from telemarketers and so we hear a lot of complaints from those subscribers against businesses who may be violating the Do Not Call List,” said Bevis.

Floridians can now join the list for free. The web address is www.fldnc.com. This is the fourth straight year complaints about telemarketers have topped the department’s list.
