“Do Not Call” Enforcement Begins

RALEIGH — The state Attorney General’s Office said last week that it was taking enforcement actions against some of the largest sources of unwanted telemarketing calls to North Carolina consumers under the state’s Do Not Call law. “Some telemarketers keep calling even when consumers ask them not to,” Attorney General Roy Cooper said. “We’re putting a stop to these unwanted calls.” Cooper announced settlements with AT&T and American Communications of High Point, which sells DIRECTV satellite equipment. He also filed suit last week against MST Business Research of Surrey, Canada, a telemarketer working with American Communications to sell DIRECTV products.
