I get bombarded with annoying telephone calls from brokers who are trying to sell me the latest stock or bond of the day. They usually call around dinner time. Is there anything I can do to be removed from these cold-calling lists?
Yes, there is. For instance, if you live in Florida and don’t wish to receive sales solicitation calls, get your name added to the “No Sales Solicitation Calls” list maintained by the Florida Department of Consumer Services. (Call the Division of Consumer Services at 1-800-HELP-FLA.) The list is updated quarterly. Your number will remain on the list for one year. The one-year fee is $5. Businesses that solicit calls from numbers on this list can be fined $10,000.
In other states, call the State Attorney General's office or the Department of Consumer Affairs.
