Do you think that people in the United States can sue telemarketers?

I think it is possible to sue telemarketing companies but it may be difficult to prove in some cases and the chances of winning might be slim. If I told the company to stop calling me and they did not, then yes I would sue them. Some telemarketing companies constantly call people after being told to stop so something should be done about it. That is great this person received $3500 and hope that company learned its lesson.

I think this should be something open to all victims of Telemarketers no matter whether they are in the USA or else where in the world. All I say good on the man suing! Lets hope it teached the people in question a very valuable lesson! Lynn-Marie

u can have yourself put on a no call list, and if your on this list and a telemarketer calls you you have every right to sue them!

I have registered my telephone number with the National Do Not Call List and at least the number of telemarketers has decreased, but not stopped. I was hoping it would work for all of them, but no such luck. It would be nice to not have to go to such extremes to get these people to stop calling. The trouble is that some of them don't take no for an answer. Some of them get you on the phone then refuse to allow you off of the phone. I hate getting rude with people, but when it comes to this type of telemarketer, they leave me no choice. Other telemarketers repeatedly call, no matter how many times I have told them I am not interested, and not to call back again. They don't seem to care. I even had the same one call me back three times in one day, and yes, I recognized the voice! Still others are the automated ones. These are really aggravating, because if you hang up on the machine to quickly, it just calls you back! They seem to call over and over, and you can't even tell them to stop. I'm ready to start suing them if this National Do Not Call List doesn't work. I guess it gives me another option, after reporting a few more of these calls that are still coming in, if they don't stop I may consider suing them.

Yes they do it all the time. You have to sign up with the National Do Not Call Registry https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx then register your home number and cell number, if they keep calling you, you report each incident. I have herd of people going to civil court and filing suit.

i think you can definetly sure there are marketing laws that these companies need to follow, just like any person or business you break the law you may get punished

I've been on the Do Not Call list in my state for about 5 years now - and am pleased to say telemarketers no long harass me lol. Although did get a call a couple of from a SUPPOSED charitable organization - I say supposed because I had never heard of it before. I politely told them I wasn't interested and was on the do not call list - that is when they told me that didn't apply to charitable organizations. I then none to politely told them I didn't care - I didn't ask to be contacted. After be told that I couldn't stop them, I informed the caller I had their organization's name and phone number on my caller ID and if they called again I would report them to my state's Attorney General for harassment. They slammed the phone down in my ear and not another peep out of them LOL.

yes you can sue telemarketers in the USA... if you are on the national do not list then you can sue them. I think the company pays you damages. but the national do not call list only applies to telemarketers and not research companies... research companies are like people calling your house asking questions...

I think people could sue telemarketer, if they are bugging you alot or else like you told them not to called again and they still are. Bascily yes you could sue them..
