On April 26, the FTC announced the filing of a proposed consent order
with a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service provider, a related
company, and the company's owner (collectively, "defendants") for
allegedly "help[ing] scammers blast millions of illegal robocalls." In
the complaint the FTC claims that the defendants violated Section 5(a)
of the FTC Act, the Telemarketing Act, and the TSR by continuing to
provide VoIP services to customers despite "knowing or consciously
avoiding knowing" the customers were: (i) using the services to place
calls to numbers on the FTC's Do Not Call (DNC) Registry; (ii)
delivering prerecorded messages; and (iii) displaying spoofed caller
ID services to callers involved in scams related to credit card
interest rate reduction, tech support, and the Covid-19 pandemic.
