telemarketing rules

Telemarketing rules are designed to protect consumers from unwanted calls. They require telemarketers to honor the Do Not Call list, meaning they can't call numbers registered there. Telemarketers must identify themselves, include who they represent, and provide a way for you to opt out of future calls. Calls are generally limited to certain hours, usually between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., and must avoid deceptive practices. These regulations aim to ensure calls are respectful, truthful, and give consumers control over their contact preferences.
