States sue telecom company over robocalls

By Doug Barrett May 26, 2023 | 8:22 AM

Attorneys general across the U.S. have joined a lawsuit against a telecommunications company accused of making more than 7.5 billion robocalls to people on the national Do Not Call Registry.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix against Avid Telecom, its owner and the company’s vice president. The lawsuit says Avid Telecom used spoofed or invalid caller ID numbers, including more than 8.4 million calls that appeared to be coming from government and law enforcement agencies as well as private companies.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says Minnesotans file more complaints about robocalls with his office than about any other single problem.

North Dakota A-G Drew Wrigley has also joined the lawsuit.
