Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill 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. 

“I’m one of the many Louisianans who are sick and tired of robocalls constantly harassing and attempting to steal people’s money, identity, and private information. I’m taking action to protect Louisiana residents,” said Attorney General Liz Murrill.

Attorney General Murrill 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.
