Abstract

In this document, the Commission adopts amendments to the Telemarketing Sales Rule ("TSR" or "Rule"). These amendments define and prohibit the use of certain payment methods in all telemarketing transactions; expand the scope of the advance fee ban for recovery services; and clarify certain provisions of the Rule. The amendments are necessary to protect consumers from deceptive or abusive practices in telemarketing.
