Telephone lines accommodating approximately 25 callers, calling expenses, and lunches for volunteer callers are furnished by AT&T Wireless Services (AT&TWS). Volunteer callers staffing the TVCC are recruited through the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Training and on-going research on telemarketing fraud, printed materials used by the volunteer callers, and bright yellow "Fraud Fighter" uniforms are all furnished by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Private partners (AT&TWS, WISE Senior Services and RSVP) look to the FBI and other members of the Boiler-room and Telemarketing (BAT) Task Force for guidance and leadership in handling any difficult situation which may arise. In some instances, immediate law enforcement action is required to stop on-going fraud, and BAT Task Force members always stand ready to assist.
