U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 6101. Findings
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Telemarketing differs from other sales activities in that
it can be carried out by sellers across State lines without
direct contact with the consumer. Telemarketers also can be very
mobile, easily moving from State to State.
(2) Interstate telemarketing fraud has become a problem of such
magnitude that the resources of the Federal Trade Commission are
not sufficient to ensure adequate consumer protection from such
fraud.
(3) Consumers and others are estimated to lose $40 billion a
year in telemarketing fraud.
(4) Consumers are victimized by other forms of telemarketing
deception and abuse.
(5) Consequently, Congress should enact legislation that will
offer consumers necessary protection from telemarketing deception
and abuse.
