According to Consumer’s Union, companies that are using robocalls regularly call consumers from the national ‘Do Not Call’ list.  Thomson added, “I was surprised at the number of large companies that are using robocalls to harass consumers.  In many cases, the Do Not Call list is being disregarded.   Thankfully, Consumer’s Union is fighting for the consumer in the area of robocalls.  On Saturday’s broadcast we’ll outline a new Consumer’s Union initiative that is designed to put pressure on robocall violators.”

Thomson called the Consumer’s Union-Robocall initiative important and something that consumers need to engage.  He added, “We’ll be discussing several ways that consumers can fight back against robocalls, including an online petition that Consumer’s Union has organized.”

The Consumer Team with Pete Thomson is broadcast Saturdays from 5-7 PM Central on 1080 KRLD.   The Consumer Team is produced by McQ Media Inc, Dallas, Texas.
