AGs nationwide look to crack down on robocall scammers

CONCORD - The Attorney Generals Office today launched Operation Robocall Roundup, a multistate effort to crack down on robocalls across the country.

Attorney General John M. Formella and 50 bipartisan attorneys general are sending warning letters to 37 voice providers demanding that they act now to stop illegal robocalls being routed through their networks.

"Stopping robocalls and the scams they facilitate is an ongoing priority of my office. Everyone who has a phone has had to deal with unwanted robocalls," said Formella. "It is a national problem with local effect. There were over 136 million suspected robocalls routed to the 603-area code in 2024. Operation Robocall Roundup is another step in our efforts to hold telecom companies accountable for failure to follow the FCC rules to help reduce robocall traffic."

These providers haven't complied with FCC rules about responding to government traceback requests, haven't registered in the FCC's Robocall Mitigation Databases, or haven't filed a plan that describes how they will reduce illegal robocalls on their network, according to Formella's statement.

By disregarding these simple rules, these companies are allowing robocallers onto their phone networks and then passing their calls on to other downstream providers until they reach the phones of New Hampshire residents, he said.

The task force is sending copies of the letters to over 99 downstream providers that accept call traffic from the 37 companies, so that they know they're doing business with bad actors that are not willing to follow the rules that apply to everyone equally.

The FCC is also taking a close look at several of these companies. It announced yesterday that it will be removing seven of these providers from the Robocall Mitigation Database, which means that other providers will no longer be allowed to accept and route any calls from their networks.
