Telemarketing Fraud

As the name implies, telemarketing fraud charges come about as a result of using a telephone to perpetrate an attempt to defraud. More specifically, it is any fraudulent campaign to induce purchases through the use of a phone. For federal charges, the calls must be interstate telephone calls.

The Federal Trade Commission adopts the rules surrounding unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices in telemarketing (Title 15 of the U.S. Code, § 6102), such as requirements regarding prompt and clear disclosure and restrictions on the hours of the day when calls can be made.

Cases involving telemarketing fraud start with violations of other fraud-related laws. Because the fraud is committed via interstate telephone, the offense is subject to enhanced penalties. Title 113A of the U.S. Code defines telemarketing fraud (§ 2325), explains the mandatory restitution related to telemarketing fraud convictions (§ 2327), and lays out the enhanced penalties for using interstate calls to defraud, as well as for “targeting” elderly citizens (§ 2326).

The Federal Trade Commission’s attorneys are authorized to file civil actions in federal district court against criminal telemarketers engaged in fraud. The Department of Justice, the FBI, and state agencies also investigate and prosecute telemarketing abuses.

If you find yourself arrested, or under investigation, for telemarketing fraud, exercise your right to have an attorney present at every stage of the proceedings. Early and attentive representation provides your best opportunity to challenge the case at every stage, to have charges reduced, or, with the right defense, to have charges dismissed altogether.
