that would certainly work in a fantasy world... dude can say any name he wants. And i am not saying it not true but i have never heared of a law stating that as a telemarketer you must give your name...

I gave up on having a land line. I just keep my cellphone on 24-7 and give them my cell # as my house #. Sooo much easier.

atleast with telemartkers calling for donations, a telemarketer has to tell you 4 things if asked; their name, their company they work for, what organization the donation is going to, and what percent of the donation actually goes to the organization.

My business law professor told me this. h:
