WEST VIRGINIA RESIDENTS GET A CHOICE
ABOUT TELEMARKETING CALLS
National Do Not Call Registry
Opens For Business |
The National Do
Not Call Registry is open for business, giving West Virginia consumers a choice about
whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. West Virginia does not have a
specific do not call law.
Consumers who want to place their home or mobile phone numbers on
the national registry can do so online. Beginning July 7, 2003, West Virginia
consumers also will be able to register by phone. Registration is free.
Federal enforcement of the National Do Not Call Registry begins
October 1, 2003. All consumers whose numbers are on the registry by August 31, 2003
will notice a downturn in telemarketing calls starting October 1, 2003. Consumers
who register after September 1, 2003 will notice a drop in telemarketing calls within
three months of the date they register.
