Dialing for dollars has always been a popular method for young stockbrokers to solicit new customers.\u00a0 Although cold calling has been dramatized in movies such as Glen Gary Glenn Ross <\/em>and the Wolf of Wall Street<\/em>, it still apparently also serves major global financial institutions as a successful marketing tool.\u00a0 Merrill Lynch has agreed to pay $400,000 for \u00a0telemarketing compliance violations to the N.H. Bureau of Securities Regulation which alleges Merrill Lynch failed to \u2018fully understand\u2019 how to comply with telemarketing rules and cold calls were made to potential clients on the do-not-call lists.\u00a0 Cold call violations have recently re-appeared on regulators radar screen after Edward Jones & Co agreed to pay $750,000 to settle similar charges.\u00a0 As part of the settlement, Merrill Lynch agreed to enhance its telemarketing policies and procedures.\u00a0 However, Merrill Lynch apparently recognizes this time honored method of chasing potential clients and will continue to use it as part of its sales techniques.<\/p>\n

Regulators including the SEC and FINRA have issued investor bulletins warning investors to be dubious of cold calling financial advisors.\u00a0 Investors should investigate any advisor prior to sending money to someone they met over the phone.\u00a0 Amongst other due diligence techniques, investors can use FINRA\u2019s BrokerCheck<\/a> system to get basic background information about a financial advisor including employment history and potentially other customer complaints.<\/p>\n
