Telemarketing Fraud Complaints Down Since Inception Of No Call Law

The State Attorney General’s Office is touting the successes of Missouri’s No Call telephone solicitation law. Telemarketing fraud complaints are down by two-thirds since the start of the program. Scott Holste with the Attorney General’s Office says there is a link between the law and the decline in the number of complaints. In the year prior to the No Call law taking effect, 468 telemarketing fraud complaints were filed. That number was down to 161 for the one-year period ending on June 30th of this year.
