Telemarketing Fraud
The Strom Law Firm handles many different types of fraud cases including telemarketing fraud. Telemarketing fraud occurs when a person or business entices another of the phone in order to obtain money from the person. The person may entice by saying they work with a charity, or to buy something in exchange for a small shipping and handling fee, yet the person never receives the item. The person may also say they are having a giveaway or some other scheme in order to obtain your financial information.
Telemarketing Fraud Lawyers
The FTC regulates telemarketing fraud and has stiff rules in place prohibiting misrepresentations by a person or business over the phone. The FTC also gives the consumer the right to opt out of receiving unsolicited telemarketing calls.
If you are convicted of telemarketing fraud you could find yourself paying stiff fines and even imprisonment. Those convicted of telemarketing fraud could face up to ten years in prison and may be required to pay the victim restitution.
