No Call List registration deadline I /j»
Deadlines for the April 2003
update of the Oregon No Call
list are near. Oregon con
sumers who want to stop most
telem arketing calls to their
homes and cell phones have
until March 8 to mail registra
tion, or March 15 for phone or
web registration.
The No Call Law, enacted by
the Oregon Legislature in 1999,
gives residential and cellular
phone customers the opportu
nity to get on the “No Call List"
and get off telemarketers’ lists.
Companies that call homes on
the No Call list are subject to
fines of up to $25,000. Oregon
Attorney General Hardy Myers
has fined 120 companies more
than $450,000 for violating the
No Call Law.
C ellular phone custom ers
who want to put an end to most
of these calls can also sign up
for the No Call List.
Registration for the Oregon
No Call list costs $6.50 for the
first year and $3.00 each year
thereafter. The list is updated
quarterly and is distributed to
more than 1,250 telemarketers
in 49 states and two foreign
countries. People who miss the
March deadline for the April list
will be still be able to register
