Excerpt
Congress in 1994 directed the FTC to combat telemarketing fraud by providing law enforcement agencies with powerful new tools, and to give consumers new protections and to issue a rule prohibiting deceptive and abusive telemarketing acts or practices. Reese Brothers operates a telemarketing service bureau, acting as an agent for sellers and for nonprofits. In evaluating the effectiveness of the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR), in the context of industry and environmental changes since TSR was implemented and in the context of prospective changes, Reese Brothers (and telemarketers and sellers generally, certainly those who will be submitting comments to the FTC) must emphasize the effects of TSR on business practices absent of deception and fraud.
