“Dishonest telemarketers use
high-pressured sales tactics on the
telephone to cheat consumers out
of $4O billion a year,” said John
Barker, director of die National
Fraud Information Center (NFIC)
in Washington, D.C. “However,
there are many legitimate compa
nies that conduct business over the
phone, so it’s extremely important
to distinguish an honest telemark
eting call from a scam.”
To help you avoid becoming an
unwitting victim of telemarketing
fraud, the NFIC and Master Card
International have, created a
national public awareness cam
paign; “Know the difference.
Hang up on Fraud.” The campaign
includes a free consumer’s guide
that provides extensive informa
tion and tips for avoiding tele
marketing fraud, such as:
