Multistate coalition expands crackdown on robocalls

CONCORD — Attorney General John M. Formella announces that New Hampshire is intensifying its crackdown on illegal robocalls by investigating four of the nation’s largest voice service providers. As part of an Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office has directed Inteliquent, Bandwidth, Lumen and Peerless to halt the transmission of suspected illegal robocalls across their networks.

“Granite Staters deserve to answer their phones without being targeted by scams,” said Attorney General Formella. “When major providers ignore clear signs of illegal robocall traffic, they put consumers at risk.”
