LANSING – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel yesterday joined 50 Attorneys General and 12 major telecom providers in an agreement to fight illegal robocalls. The Anti-Robocall Principles established with AT&T, Bandwidth, CenturyLink, Charter, Comcast, Consolidated, Frontier, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon, and Windstream will better protect residents from illegal robocalls and make it easier for states to investigate and prosecute bad actors.
"This is a major step forward in combating robocalls in Michigan and across the country," said Nessel. "Far too many residents fall victim to illegal robocall scams and we cannot wait any longer to address this egregious public nuisance. This should serve as a notice to bad actors that my colleagues, the phone companies and I will be relentless in our efforts to stop these predatory calls."
