49 attorneys general sue telecom company over billions of illegal robocalls.

A bipartisan coalition of 49 state attorneys general sued Avid Telecom, alleging that the company is responsible for billions of illegal robocalls, including calls to phone numbers on the Do Not Call Registry. The state AGs claim that many of the calls impersonated law enforcement and government agencies, while others purported to be from large corporations like Amazon or DirecTV to lure call recipients into scams. Avid Telecom denies the allegations and says it operates in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
