Syndicators violating Do Not Call Registry & telemarketing securities

[Taylor L.]

Have you ever found yourself the target of a telemarketing campaign by syndicators marketing securities? These tend to be newer teams which do not have established investor bases or track records. As a result, they're desperate to raise capital and aren't all that worried about legal marketing strategies.

I've recently found myself the target of one of these such teams. I did not ask to be placed on this list, I have more than enough deal flow of my own. Several 'private number' calls, followed by voicemail drops. They finally called me from a non-private number and I asked to be taken off the list. We'll see if the calls actually stop.

To syndicators thinking of cold calling numbers on the DNC Registry in order to market securities - do not do it. Someone will complain and you'll get in an awful lot of trouble. Your goal should be to grow your investor database of people who are genuinely interested in doing business with you, and who are asking you for the opportunity to invest in your deals.
