Attorney General Issues New Warning On Telephone Scammers

The success of the state’s No Call telephone solicitation list has apparently been seen as an opportunity for some people to try to scam unsuspecting Missourians. The Attorney General’s Office has received word of people calling those on the No Call list to offer them the chance to sign up for a national No Call list for a $500 fee. The Office’s Mary Still says there is no such national list. She adds the scammers appear to be operating from outside the state, perhaps California. The Attorney General’s Office warns Missourians to be on the alert for these calls and to never give out bank account or credit card information to strangers who are telephone solicitors.
