What the FCC Can Do to Help
While the FCC may not award monetary or other damages, it can issue citations or impose fines against those violating the TCPA or other FCC rules regarding unsolicited telephone marketing calls. If you would like to send the FCC a complaint about suspected violations of the TCPA or of the FCC’s rules, you can file it by e-mail (fccinfo at fcc.gov), by the Internet (www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html), by telephone 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) (voice), 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) (TTY), or by mail:
