Attorney General Formella Issues Robocall Warning to iDentidad

Concord, NH - Attorney General John M. Formella today sent a letter to iDentidad Advertising Development LLC, also known as iDentidad Telecom, warning the company that it is transmitting suspected illegal robocall traffic and should stop immediately. 
 
“Today, we are sending a strong message that illegal robocalls have no place here in New Hampshire or in any community nationwide. As part of the bipartisan Anti-Robocall Multistate Task Force, we are united in our commitment to protect consumers from deceptive calls,” said Attorney General Formella. “The alarming volume of illegal calls that appear to be originating from iDentidad must stop immediately. We will not hesitate to take further legal action if necessary to safeguard Granite Staters and all Americans.”
 
Attorney General Formella is part of the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force of 51 bipartisan attorneys general, which investigates and takes legal action against those responsible for routing illegal robocall traffic into and across the United States. 
 
The Federal Communications Commission also sent a cease-and-desist to iDentidad today. The task force notes that iDentidad received nearly 200 traceback notices for calls the company routed to the U.S. telephone network that mostly came from outside the country. These were large numbers of calls that were illegal or part of suspicious robocall campaigns. Some of these traceback notices concerned illegal and/or suspicious calls about IRS/Social Security Administration government imposters, utilities scams, and financial scams. Recently, iDentidad routed spoofed calls to non-Illinois residents that impersonated the Illinois Attorney General’s Office. 
 
If iDentidad doesn’t stop routing suspicious or illegal robocall traffic, the attorneys general may take legal action including seeking damages, civil penalties, and injunctions.
