Levin calls for anti-deceptive mailing act

Article Abstract:

Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) developed a new bill called the Deceptive Mailing Elimination Act of 1998 that is supposed to halt attempts by sweepstakes operators to defraud consumers. Levin's proposal is considered to be stricter than a previous action taken by Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-CO) against firms that rely on deceptive mail tactics because solicitors need not indicate that the consumer is participating in a game of chance on the envelope, noted The Direct Marketing Association's senior vice president of congressional affairs Richard Barton.
