FTC Requires Telemarketers to Purge Numbers Every 31 Days

From the FTC, Telemarketers Required to “Scrub” Their Call Lists Every 31 Days Beginning January 1, 2005.

  • “Beginning January 1, 2005, the Federal Trade Commission’s Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) will require telemarketers to access the National Do Not Call Registry and purge newly-registered numbers from their call lists every 31 days. The TSR currently requires telemarketers to “scrub” their lists quarterly; the FTC amended the Rule to reflect this change in March 2004.”
