South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley has joined a coalition of 51 Attorneys General from across the nation in a bipartisan effort to crack down on illegal robocalls. The group has sent warning letters to nine voice service providers, notifying them that they may violate state and federal laws by continuing to route these unlawful calls across their networks.
In a statement released by his office, Attorney General Jackley emphasized the detrimental impact of these calls on the public. “These companies allow scams of all kinds to be passed on to the public,” said Attorney General Jackley. “This activity has to stop, and the Attorneys General are working to help their federal law enforcement partners.”
The warning letters were issued by the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, of which the Attorneys General are members. The letters demand that the nine providers cease transmitting illegal robocalls and include detailed information regarding the task force’s investigation and analysis of each provider’s illegal and/or suspicious robocall traffic.
The voice service providers that received the warning letters are Global Net Holdings, All Access Telecom, Lingo Telecom, NGL Communications, Range, RSCom Ltd., Telecast Network, ThinQ Technologies, and Telecentris.

The move signals a significant step in the ongoing battle to protect consumers from scams and unwanted intrusions.
