On April 26, the DOJ filed a federal complaint on behalf of the FTC
against a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, a related
company, and its owner for allegedly facilitating the transmission of
illegal telemarketing robocalls.
According to the complaint, the companies and owner assisted in the transmission of millions of robocalls, including calls that they knew
or should have known were scams. Specifically, the company provided
VoIP services despite knowing that its customers were delivering
prerecorded messages and were displaying spoofed caller IDs in various
scams, including scams related to the COVID-19 pandemic, tech support,
and credit card interest rate reduction. Further allegations include
that the company knew its customers were placing calls to numbers on
the FTC's Do Not Call (DNC) Registry. Many of the robocalls originated overseas, and the company also allegedly failed to prevent the calls
from reaching American consumers.
