Telemarketing scammers use computers, fax machines and telephones as tools for their trade to scam the consumers and deceive them.
Not all telemarketers are scammers. Many genuine companies sell their products or services through telemarketing. Even charities use this to help out the needy people. But unfortunately, the
scammers use telemarketing as a weapon to rob the people.
If you suspect that the call you get is fraudulent,
report scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and to your State Attorney General, providing the telemarketer's name, phone number and date and time of the call which will help them to investigate the scammers.
