The agency highlights progress in addressing telemarketing scams.
The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) latest National Do Not Call Registry Data Book for Fiscal Year 2024 shows a reduction in consumer reports about unwanted calls for the third year in a row, as complaint numbers have dropped by more than 50 percent since 2021. The FTC attributes the decline to efforts, such as Operation Stop Scam Calls, and the introduction of a rule prohibiting the impersonation of government and business entities.
The FTC also expanded the Telemarketing Sales Rule to protect businesses and addressed emerging threats, including AI-driven voice scams.
“In the years to come, it will be critical we continue this progress by confronting not only telemarketers but those firms who knowingly profit from scam calls,” said Director Sam Levine of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

- For Director Levine to be led by the Lord as he oversees the Bureau of Consumer Protection.
