Do Not Call Complaints

The Do Not Call law provides for several exceptions under which telemarketers may call your home even if your name is registered on the Do Not Call list. Those exceptions include calls from:

• Telemarketers calling at your express request.
• Tax-exempt charitable/non-profit organizations, veteran’s organizations chartered by the United States, Congress, and calls made on behalf of a political candidate or political party.
• Telemarketers calling in reference to an existing debt, contract, payment, or performance.
• Telemarketers who have had an established business relationship with the residential telephone customer within 12 months preceding the call.

In addition to PA’s DO NOT CALL law, you are permitted to ask the telemarketer to remove your name from their calling list. A telemarketer who fails to do so violates the law.

Once you have registered… Please keep in mind that since the list is updated quarterly, you can expect a delay between the time you register on the Do Not Call list and the time telemarketers are prohibited from making calls to your home.

The Attorney General cannot act as your private attorney. As a law enforcement agency, the primary function of the Office of Attorney General is to represent the public at large by enforcing laws prohibiting fraudulent or deceptive trade practices.
