Telemarketing Review - Comment. FTC File No. P99441

Some comments on telemarketing. Telling them not to call again does seem to work, but it would be good if there was a central do-not-call list they had to consult first. Contacting the Telephone Preference service works for a while, but then you start to get calls again after a while. Please could you stop them leaving messages on the answering machine. This is happening more and more often and is very annoying. With an old style machine you have to listen to the whole message before you can hear the next one on the tape.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to give comments.
