WHAT ARE THE TELEMARKETING LAWS IN YOUR STATE?
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act provides for civil penalties starting at $500 per violation. Some calls contain multiple violations, which, if deemed wilfull, can lead to statutory damages of up to $3,000 per call. Interestingly, some states have telemarketing laws that provide for much higher penalties.
