Telemarketing Sales Rule

الملخص

The Federal Trade Commission ("Commission" or "FTC") seeks public comment on proposed amendments to the Telemarketing Sales Rule ("TSR" or "Rule"). The proposed amendments would: Bar sellers and telemarketers from accepting remotely created checks, remotely created payment orders, cash-to-cash money transfers, and cash reload mechanisms as payment in inbound or outbound telemarketing transactions; expand the scope of the advance fee ban on "recovery" services, now limited to recovery of losses in prior telemarketing transactions, to include recovery of losses in any previous transaction; and clarify other TSR provisions as discussed at the outset of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
