Do Not Call protection in Maine

Maine 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.

Maine robocall FAQs

How many robocall complaints do Maine residents file?

Maine consumers have filed 3,958 unwanted-call complaints with the FCC against 3,674 distinct phone numbers, covering 2014-02-06 to 2026-09-06. That is 0.4% of all state-attributed complaints in the dataset, ranking Maine 42 among US states and territories by complaint volume.

Does Maine have its own Do Not Call list?

Where do the calls reported in Maine 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 Maine may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a Maine 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 Maine?

Prerecorded Voice is the most-reported category in Maine, accounting for 1,943 of the 3,958 complaints (49%). Live Voice is second with 1,263.
