Tired of ‘robocalls?’ Kentucky’s attorney general is joining a federal fight against them

FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — “Kentuckians continue to be the target of unlawful robocalls, which can be everything from annoying to downright predatory,” Attorney General Russell Coleman said in a news release on Saturday. “Along with attorneys general across the country, we’re fighting back against those who try to take advantage of Kentuckians.” 

The office of the attorney general announced just around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday that Coleman joined a coalition of 51 other bipartisan attorneys general known as the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force.

The group issued warning notices to “multiple voice service providers” saying they could be violating state and federal laws by routing robocalls across their networks, according to Coleman’s office.

The task force also shared information about the providers they warned to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), officials said.

Which companies were warnings issued to?

The task force reportedly sent warning letters to nine companies detailing how investigators found them to be allegedly conducting illegal or suspicious robocall activity, per a news release.
