The Department of Justice Files Actions to Stop Telecom Carriers Who Facilitated Hundreds of Millions of Fraudulent Robocalls to American Consumers
The United States Department of Justice
The Department of Justice filed civil actions for temporary restraining orders today in two landmark cases against five companies and three individuals allegedly responsible for carrying hundreds of millions of fraudulent robocalls to American consumers, the Department of Justice announced. The Department of Justice alleges that the companies were warned numerous times that they were carrying fraudulent robocalls — including government- and business-imposter calls — and yet continued to carry those calls and facilitate foreign-based fraud schemes targeting Americans. The calls, most of which originated in India, led to massive financial losses to elderly and vulnerable victims across the nation.
Assistant Attorney General Jody H. Hunt of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, U.S. Attorney Richard P. Donoghue of the Eastern District of New York, Inspector General Gail S. Ennis of the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale, made the announcement.
