Colorado Attorney General Warns Colorado
Consumers to be Wary of Scams Related to No-Call List -
Colorado Attorney General Ken Salazar issued a warning to Colorado consumers to be wary of telephone calls
purporting to "verify" their registration with a telemarketing no-call list. Complaints have surfaced about certain entities
contacting Colorado consumers to "verify" placement on a no-call List. A company calling itself the "National
Association Against Fraud" is requesting credit card information to verify an Internet request to be placed on a no-call
list. Another company,
believed to be called "Fraud Stoppers", has contacted consumers seeking bank account verification information related
to no-call services.
These types of solicitations are completely fraudulent and are unrelated to Colorado's official No-Call law which goes into
effect on July 1st. Consumers should not respond to these types of calls by providing a credit card number or other
personal financial information. To place their telephone number on Colorado's official No-Call list, consumers need only
call 1-888-249-9097 or they can register on-line. Sign-up is
completely free.
