A company that allegedly facilitated billions of spam calls is being
sued by nearly every attorney general in the country for allegedly
violating consumer protection and telemarketing laws, according to a
complaint filed Tuesday.
Avid Telecom, a Voice over Internet Protocol provider, facilitated
more than 7.5 billion calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call
Registry, according to a complaint filed by AGs from 48 states plus
the District of Columbia. The complaint alleged Avid facilitated more
than 24.5 billion calls between December 2018 and January 2023, and
more than 90% of those calls lasted less than 15 seconds, indicating
they were likely robocalls.
