Do not Call

[Paul DoCampo]

I have not seen much discussion on BP about the Do Not Call list. 

I have recently obtained a list of phone numbers from Land Voice for a pre-foreclosure list, however a few of them are under the "Do not Call" List. Do some of you cold call anyway? Or is there a way around it for our type of business?

I have heard before that because we are not "selling" a product but asking to buy then we do not fall under that...but that kind of argument just does not seem to sit well because we are still "selling" a service. The FTC says nothing about what kind products or services defines a telemarketer, but defines it as a business soliciting. In that case, regardless if we are buying or selling a product, we are soliciting to sell a service, and that service is a fast, all cash transaction of a home.
