The warning letters also cited the fact that the FTV already filed lawsuits against James Christiano and his companies for knowingly provided software and servers to illegal robocallers, and Globex Telecom for violating the TSR.

In a statement, FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection Director Andrew Smith said, “It’s never good business for VoIP providers and others to help telemarketers make illegal robocalls that scam people. But it’s especially bad when your company is helping telemarketers exploiting fears about the coronavirus to spread disinformation and perpetrate scams.”
