OTTAWA – The CRTC has caught and fined another telemarketer for violating the country’s national do not call list (DNCL) rules.
Between October 10, 2010 and June 21, 2011, the Commission said that it received “numerous complaints” in relation to telemarketing telecommunications made by Ed Barna, carrying on business as Byo Steem, a steam cleaning company based in London, ON.
After an investigation, it levied an $8,0000 administrative monetary penalty against the company for initiating four telemarketing calls to consumers whose numbers were registered on the DNCL, and for initiating these telecommunications without having paid all applicable fees to the national DNCL operator, in violation of the Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules. Payment is due by March 7, 2012.
