Telemarketing fraud is fraudulent selling conducted over the phone. It most often targets the poor and elderly. Common types include:

Advance fee fraud (typically claiming that the victim will receive a lottery prize, government grant or loan, etc)
Pyramid schemes and other misrepresented investments or business opportunities
Overpayment fraud (where the victim is overpaid for a classified advertising or online auction purchase, with a counterfeit check or money order, and asked to wire back some of the excess)
Charity fraud
Misrepresented office supply (most commonly toner) or directory listing services
