When unwanted telemarketing or scam calls continue after your number is registered, formal reports help create enforcement records. CPS assists users by organizing information and explaining reporting steps.
CPS does not act as a government agency or legal authority; we ensure information is documented clearly for your use.

Preparing Information
Accurate reporting starts with proper documentation. Before a report is submitted, certain details help regulators identify patterns and violations.
- Date and exact time of the call
- Phone number or caller ID shown
- Type of call (robocall, agent, prerecorded)
- Verification of DNC registration status
FTC Reporting
The FTC collects reports related to telemarketing and consumer fraud. These reports help identify large-scale violations and repeat offenders.
- Submit reports for unwanted sales calls
- Document violations of DNC regulations
- Contribute to national enforcement databases
- Support investigations into scam operations
FCC Reporting
The FCC focuses on unlawful call practices such as spoofing, robocalls, and the misuse of telecommunications networks.

TCPA Understanding
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) limits how businesses may contact consumers, requiring consent for certain calls.
- Explains consent and revocation rights
- Defines limits on automated messaging
- Supports documentation for violations

Ongoing Monitoring
Reporting is not a one-time step. Continued monitoring helps build clear patterns over time, improving the effectiveness of enforcement and prevention efforts.
