Why Do I Need a Pennsylvania Telemarketing Surety Bond?

The Pennsylvania Telemarketer Registration Act requires any individual or business conducting telemarketing within or into the Commonwealth to register with the Office of the Attorney General. As part of this registration, a $50,000 surety bond must be filed. This bond serves to protect consumers against fraud, misrepresentation, and other violations of Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law.

If you are engaged in the sale of goods or services via telephone (other than exempted entities), this bond is mandatory before you can legally operate.
