A Utah legislator used his own law to bust a telemarketer
PROVO, Utah — A Utah state lawmaker has used a law he sponsored to go after a telemarketer for violating the"Do Not Call" registry.
"I was like, 'OK, fine, tell me who you are' and they gave me their name and phone number and I said, 'Are you registered with Utah as a telemarketer?' 'Well no,'" Rep. Thurston recalled. "Telemarketing companies should not be reaching out to people who have registered with the federal 'Do Not Call' list," said Katie Hart, the division director."There are exceptions. Charities is one of them."
"We’re really serious about people whose phone numbers are on the 'Do Not Call' list. If you’re going to call people on the 'Do Not Call' list? You’re going to get reported and you’re going to get in trouble with it," he said.
