- Navigate to the complaint web form.
- Select ‘Telemarketing, Pre-Recorded Messages, and Do-Not-Call’ and click next.
- Select the type of complaint category that best fits the call you received. *Note you do not have to be listed on the Do-Not-Call list to file a complaint using this form.
- Click next and fill out your information and information and details about the call you received. You can also include details from EveryCall.us relating to the number to help the FCC in their investigation of your complaint.
