LANSING – Today, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and the 51 Democratic and Republican Attorneys General of the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force notified nine voice service providers that they may be violating state and federal laws by continuing to route allegedly unlawful robocalls across their networks. These warning letters include information about the task force’s investigation and analysis of each provider’s illegal and/or suspicious robocall traffic.
“Voice service providers play a critical role in keeping illegal robocalls off their networks, and that includes ensuring they do not transmit these persistent and intrusive calls,” Nessel said. “I remain committed to working with my colleagues on this task force to protect consumers and hold accountable those providers who choose to turn a blind eye to illegal traffic.”
