An End Run Around the “Do Not Call” List?

Filed under: Biz Weak — TBlumer @ 8:04 am

Looks like it to me.

Jeff at Credit/Debt Recovery smells a rat.

The credit bureau Experian is contacting consumers about their services and acting like it’s a business call.

Hey, the services they are selling almost certainly revolve around a person’s credit, which is pegged to their personal Social Security number. If so, despite the disguise, these are personal telemarketing calls, which are illegal if made to any phone number on the Do Not Call Registry.

Paging the Federal Trade Commission: Come down, HARD.
