Traders on the Isle of Man are being banned from cold calling potential customers.
From June 1st it will become illegal for people to use the method as a sales technique - either face to face or on the telephone:
The Office of Fair Trading says the move will protect consumers as it will disrupt the activities of those who pressurise people to buy goods or services.
Director Mike Ball says enforcement action will be taken against those traders who don't comply:
