DOJ Files Restraining Orders Against Robocallers

DOJ filed civil actions for temporary restraining orders against five companies and three individuals in two cases, alleging Tuesday they carried out hundreds of millions of fraudulent robocalls to Americans. Defendants in one case are Ecommerce National d/b/a TollFreeDeals.com, SIP Retail d/b/a sipretail.com, and their owners Nicholas Palumbo and Natasha Palumbo of Scottsdale, Arizona. Defendants in the other case are Global Voicecom, Global Telecommunication Services, KAT Telecom (aka IP Dish) and their owner Jon Kahen of Great Neck, New York. Calls originating in India "led to massive financial losses to elderly and vulnerable victims" across the U.S., DOJ said.
