Colorado Attorney General Warns Colorado Consumers to be Wary of Scams Related to No-Call List

Colorado Attorney General Ken Salazar issued a warning to Colorado consumers to be wary of telephone calls purporting to "verify" their registration with a telemarketing no-call list. Complaints have surfaced about certain entities contacting Colorado consumers to "verify" placement on a no-call List. A company calling itself the "National Association Against Fraud" is requesting credit card information to verify an Internet request to be placed on a no-call list. Another company, believed to be called "Fraud Stoppers", has contacted consumers seeking bank account verification information related to no-call services.

These types of solicitations are completely fraudulent and are unrelated to Colorado's official No-Call law which goes into effect on July 1st. Consumers should not respond to these types of calls by providing a credit card number or other personal financial information. To place their telephone number on Colorado's official No-Call list, consumers need only call 1-888-249-9097 or they can register on-line. Sign- up is completely free. Read more...
