South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley is joining forces with a bipartisan coalition of 51 Attorneys General to issue a warning to nine major voice service providers, alerting them that they may be violating both state and federal laws by continuing to route allegedly unlawful robocalls through their networks.
“These companies are allowing harmful scams of all kinds to reach the public,” said Attorney General Jackley. “This has to stop, and we are working with our federal law enforcement partners to hold these companies accountable.”
The warning letters are part of the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, which is actively addressing the growing issue of illegal robocalls. The letters demand that the recipients immediately cease transmitting illegal robocalls. They also outline findings from an investigation into each provider’s network and their involvement in the transmission of suspicious or illegal robocall traffic.
The nine companies receiving the letters include Global Net Holdings, All Access Telecom, Lingo Telecom, NGL Communications, Range, RSCom Ltd., Telecast Network, ThinQ Technologies, and Telecentris.
The task force continues to monitor and investigate robocall activity to protect consumers from scams and fraud.
