Now if other states will follow where we lead , the scourge of the telemarketers will cease to exist.
Dateline Raleigh:
A telemarketing company that promised to provide customers a credit card and an improved credit rating in exchange for a fee has been ordered to stop soliciting in North Carolina.
Attorney General Roy Cooper's office announced Friday that it had won a court order against Enterprise Technology Group Inc. of Florida, which does business as Ameritrust and Ameritrust Financial Card.
Cooper's office filed suit this week against the company. The attorney general said the company called North Carolinians on the Do Not Call Registry and offered a credit card that would improve their credit ratings for an upfront fee of $200 to $300.
Consumers who agreed to the service had to provide their checking account information, and the fee was deducted immediately, according to Cooper's office. But most people said they never received a credit card or that they received a card that could be used only for merchandise from the company's Web site or catalog.
One scam down - but many more to go! In this house telemarketers get a bullhorn set at its highest pitch blasted straight into their ears so no one calls back a second time! Serves them right too!
