New York Attorney General Letitia James today joined a bipartisan coalition of 50 attorneys general in sending warning letters to 37 voice service providers demanding that they stop routing illegal robocalls through their networks. A multistate investigation found that these companies routed thousands of robocalls to people in New York and across the country. Most robocall campaigns were scams, with some impersonating utility or financial companies, Medicare, Amazon, and tax relief services, among others. Attorney General James and the coalition are demanding that these companies immediately stop routing these fraudulent calls.
“New Yorkers are sick and tired of robocalls from scammers who are trying to steal their money or private personal information,” said Attorney General James
