Do Not Call protection in Maryland

Maryland formally adopted the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry as its own state list rather than running a separate one, so a single free registration at donotcall.gov covers you. State authorities can still enforce against telemarketers who ignore it, in addition to any federal penalty.

Whatever your state does, the federal National Do Not Call Registry applies, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act gives you a private right of action against certain unlawful calls. Report unwanted calls at the FCC complaint centre and fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Does Maryland have its own Do Not Call list?

Maryland formally adopted the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry as its own state list rather than running a separate one, so a single free registration at donotcall.gov covers you. State authorities can still enforce against telemarketers who ignore it, in addition to any federal penalty.

Where do the calls reported in Maryland come from?

The FCC records the state the person filing the complaint was in, not where the caller was. Because caller ID is easily spoofed, a call reported in Maryland may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a Maryland number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.

What kind of calls are reported most in Maryland?

Prerecorded Voice is the most-reported category in Maryland, accounting for 12,401 of the 27,978 complaints (44%). Live Voice is second with 8,471.
