Nearly 50 state AGs sue company that allegedly facilitated billions of spam calls

▤ Summary

The AGs name two Avid executives as defendants as well: CEO Michael Lansky and Vice President of Operations and Sales Stacey Reeves. According to the complaint, Avid would sell phone numbers, data and dialing software that enabled customers to make mass robocalls. Using Avids services, customers could allegedly spoof the area codes of their calls to match those of their recipients, which made it more likely theyd pick up. Calls allegedly facilitated by Avid included scams about the Social Security Administration, Medicare, auto warranties, Amazon, credit card interest rate reduction and more. The lawsuit is a result of the work of a bipartisan Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, which pursues large-volume robocall cases.
