A Fort Lauderdale judge approved a $1.35 million consent judgment against companies allegedly involved in an illegal robocalling campaign.
The Federal Trade Commission pursued the case as part of a strategy to target not only telemarketers who have broken the law, but everyone involved down the line, a spokesperson said. In this case, that meant going after Pacific Telecom, a group of companies that allegedly provided hundreds of phone numbers to the telemarketers and helped them change the names that would appear on consumers’ caller ID.
