The next time a telemarketer calls you and you are on the National
Do-Not-Call list, that is obnoxious and an opportunity! It is illegal
for telemarketers to call you if you’re on the National list — or if
you have asked to be removed from their call list. If a telemarketer
calls you illegally, you are entitled to sue them for $500 per call!
And they never call just once do they? If the company knowingly broke the law by calling you, this private “right of action” triples to $1,500.
