FCC Sends 2 Companies Cease-and-Desist Letters for Transmitting Illegal Robocall Traffic

The FCC issued cease-and-desist letters Tuesday to R Squared and Tellza for "apparently transmitting illegal robocall traffic." The companies appeared to have transmitted "multiple unlawful robocall campaigns that market auto warranties and credit card debt reduction service, or claim, falsely, to be from the Social Security Administration or other well-known companies," a news release said. The commission sent similar letters to six other companies in March (see 2103170061). R Squared and Tellza didn't respond to requests for comment.
