Court filings for alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and other telemarketing laws continue to rise. Statutory penalties are steep and legal defense costs add up quickly. Here’s some helpful tips to keep in mind:
- Always verify the proper level of consent prior to making any calls.
- Never obtain leads from sources that you don’t trust.
- Don’t obtain leads from foreign lead sources.
- Just because a lead provider promises they are TCPA compliant doesn’t make it true!
As always, Mutual of Omaha expects all calling and texting to be done in accordance with all applicable laws. You should seek qualified legal counsel to ensure that your calling practices are conducted in a compliant manner.
Mutual of Omaha may recover any costs incurred in investigating, settling or litigating TCPA claims from agents, brokers, and their uplines.
