In complaints received by the Commission, the company was accused of making unauthorized telephone solicitations in violation of law. They also allegedly failed to register with the PSC as telephone solicitors and failed to purchase the Mississippi Do Not Call List. When served by the PSC, the defendants did not respond to the complaints, bringing the imposition of civil penalties by default.
“Harassing citizens of Mississippi will not be tolerated by the Commission. Other violators of Mississippi’s No-Call law should take this fine as a warning that they will be prosecuted and held accountable for their actions,” Presley said.
Mississippians who wish to add their home telephone number to the No Call list should contact the PSC at 1-800-356-6428 or online at www. psc.state.ms.us/nocall.
