Unsolicited merchandise law
Comment: Does anyone know about the new law regarding unsolicited phone
calls where the caller ask if the person who answers is this Mr/Mrs so in so? After which they send unsolicited merchandise or services, and the recipient is obliged by this new law to assume reponsibility to pay for them? It is unconfirmed that our Federal legislature passed this into law this year. If this indeed fact, the result can be catastropic. I need to know the law number so I can see who supported this and read the entire law in order to follow up.

I always heard this too. Don't remember if I heard it from my best friend, whose dad was the postmaster of our town (and who always lectured us on the illegality of chain letters and other no nos!) or if I heard it from my lawyer relatives but I had heard it.
I keep hoping that Harry Winston will confuse me with Susan Lucci or Christina Aguilera right before some awards ceremony. Hasn't happened yet. Heh.

Atlanta consumer guru Clark Howard says if they send it and you didn't ask for it, it's yours.

But some Cold callers will attempt to confuse you and get you to agree to a trial , sample or something then they try use the "recording for training" as proof . bottom line never say you agree to anything
