FINRA Notice to Member (NTM) 12-17 reminds broker-dealers of their obligations with respect to cold calling. First it reminds them of NASD Rule 2212 (now FINRA Rule 3230)and NYSE Rule 440A. NASD Rule 2212 and NYSE Rule 440A are similar rules that require member firms to maintain and consult do-not-call lists, limit the hours of telephone solicitations and prohibit members from using deceptive and abusive acts and practices in connection with telemarketing. The SEC directed FINRA and NYSE to adopt these telemarketing rules in accordance with the Telemarketing Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 1994 (Prevention Act). If you have been the victim of a cold call, we may be able to help you recover losses.
