10 namesused by one robocall operation to keep calling after each shutdown since 2007
One credit card rate-reduction robocall operation used at least 10 company names since at least 2007 to keep calling after each shutdown, the FTC said in 2010.
Telemarketing boiler rooms in Orlando, directed from Toronto and upstate New York, charged a flat $995 fee and allegedly took almost $13 million from nearly 13,000 consumers before a 2010 court order froze the operation's assets.
