Annoyed by telemarketers? Get on the No Call List!

Click here to register or re-register now. (Federal No Call List for folks outside WI)

If a telemarketer violates No Call, fight back with this electronic complaint to investigators.

Charities and law enforcement type solicitations are exempt from No Call, but my advice is not to give over the phone.

If No Call doesn't work, here's how to sue telemarketers yourself.
