Arizona AG issues robocall warning to 37 telecom companies

PHOENIX — In a multistate effort alongside 50 fellow attorneys general, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes helped send warning letters to 37 telecom companies which all “have failed to comply with federal rules aimed at stopping illegal robocall traffic.”

The companies, which include Family Communication Inc. and Pleedex LLC, are being accused of one or more of these malpractices: not responding to FCC traceback requests, not registering in the FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database and not submitting a “legally required mitigation plan to combat robocalls.”

The full list of noncompliant telecom companies can be found online.

“(These companies have) ignored basic federal requirements, and by doing so, they are enabling fraudsters to reach Arizonans’ phones. That stops now,” Mayes said in a Thursday release.

A separate 99 companies, which handle some business for the targeted 37, are being notified of their alliance with “noncompliant actors” as well.

This legal effort is part of the Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force that was first launched in 2022 by attorneys general in North Carolina, Indiana and Ohio.
