Attorney General Dave Sunday announced the first action under “Operation Robocall Roundup,” a multistate effort by the Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force to crack down on robocalls across Pennsylvania and nationwide.

Sunday joined 50 bipartisan attorney generals in sending warning letters to 37 voice providers demanding that they immediately stop illegal robocalls being routed through their networks.

“Robocalls are not just an annoyance, many of them are illegal. Robocalls are often a tool used by scammers to take advantage of the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians,” Sunday said. “Illegal robocalls will not be tolerated in the Commonwealth, and I am proud to stand with my colleagues to announce action that we expect will result in federal investigations, and, ultimately, fewer of these calls.”
