Attorney General Kaul Warns 9 Phone Providers Over Robocall Traffic

MADISON, Wis. – Attorney General Josh Kaul 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 allegedly illegal and/or suspicious robocall traffic.

“The flood of robocalls that people receive is ridiculous,” said AG Kaul. “We remain committed to working to reduce the number of these annoying calls.”
