"Bilking the Elderly" -- more regulation coming

Here’s something that will cause us all concern. A lead story in Sunday's New York Times talks about how InfoUSA and other list firms are willingly selling lists of elderly seniors to scam artists who proceed to con the people they call into revealing personal financial information.

I’m sure some congressman is already working on legislation, and NY Governor Spitzer and his ilk are no doubt going to use this story, believed en toto, to inflict new state regulations on nonprofit telemarketing and probably all marketing channels, including nonprofits.

As if there aren't enough laws to use to prosecute these thieves already.
