Griffin: ‘This Is Unacceptable And Must End Now’

LITTLE ROCK – Attorney General Tim Griffin today announced that he and the 50 other attorneys general who make up the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force have sent letters to nine telecommunications companies notifying them that they may be violating state and federal laws by continuing to route allegedly unlawful robocalls across their networks.

“Robocalls have unfortunately become a common part of our lives, not just in Arkansas, but across the country. Our task force is taking steps to stem the tide of illegal robocalls that are bombarding American consumers.

“At least four of the companies that received our warning letters today have been confirmed to be routing calls to Arkansans in recent months. This is unacceptable and must end now. I will continue to stand up for Arkansans’ rights and do all in my power to protect them from these unlawful practices.”

The task force also shared its concerns about the nine telecommunications companies with federal law enforcement partners and regulatory bodies, including the Federal Communications Commission.

The following companies received the letters: Global Net Holdings; All Access Telecom; Lingo Telecom; NGL Communications; Range; RSCom Ltd.; Telcast Network; ThinQ Technologies; and Telcentris. To read copies of the warning letters, click here.
