Missouri AG Files Robocall Suit Against Florida Company

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster's office filed a lawsuit against Florida-based MSB Consultants and its president, Michael Bendett, for violations of Missouri’s No-Call law, said a news release from the Koster's office. The lawsuit alleges MSB Consultants illegally made automated telephone calls to Missouri residents who were on the state’s No-Call list, the release said. MSB Consultants called Missouri consumers with a recorded message, attempting to sell them health insurance. The Attorney General’s Office received 20 complaints about the company from consumers who are on the No-Call list but still received the unwanted calls, the release said. The suit follows a recent FCC order, supported by Koster (see 1507220054), that allows phone companies to utilize call-blocking technologies to better protect their customers from robocalls and scams.
