» Telemarketing - Helpful Tips
When you experience a call from a telemarketer and there is “dead air” it is generally because the call has been placed by an automatic dialer. The representative may be on another call.
In order to avoid fraud from a telemarketer, always ask for detailed, written information that you can double check for yourself.
Request that a telemarketer give you time to consider their offer. If it is a scam, the telemarketer will typically either say the offer is about to expire or simply move on to the next phone call.
Asking for a call back number from a telemarketer does not always stop scam artists as they are generally prepared to give you a number where they have an accomplice ready to verify their call.
If you are contacted by a scam artist, contact the FTC to report the scam at www.ftc.gov or call 1-877-FTC-HELP.
