Heather Bosch takes an in-depth look at telemarketer outrage. A regional Edward R. Murrow award winner for investigative journalism.

 

Part 1

A telemarketing call is bad enough, but what if the telemarketer breaks into a stream of pornographic language? Hear it for yourself. Not even the "Do not call list" is stopping these intrusions.

Part 2

What starts out as a telemarketing call to sell a satellite service turns into a verbal assault against a western Washington woman. What does DISH network have to say about this? And why is the local east Indian community taking the brunt of these calls?

Part 3

The "Do not call list" doesn't stop them. Telemarketers are ignoring the rules, and worse. As DISH network and the retailers point the fingers at each other - Heather Bosch digs into the legal implications, but it's not as cut and dried as you'd think.

Part 4

Telephone harassment. That's what the cops call what's happening to a local woman who's enduring pornographic pitches on the heels of a pitch for DISH Network service. In the final part of her investigative series, Heather Bosch tells us what you can do to help catch the person at the other end of these unwelcome calls.
