  If your name is already on the Do Not Call list but you continue to receive calls from telemarketers, you may trace the call by following the steps below:

  • File a report with your local police department - the officer will fax your report to the Annoyance Call Bureau 513-397-6776, who will establish a free 21-day trace.
