Lingo Telecom and Life Corporation are linked to robocalls that cloned President Joe Biden’s voice and urged New Hampshire residents not to vote, according to the New Hampshire attorney general’s office. Both companies have been issued cease-and-desist orders by authorities.

Lingo Telecom and Life Corporation are linked to a robocall campaign that used an AI voice clone of President Joe Biden to persuade New Hampshire voters not to vote, said New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella during a press conference on Tuesday. Authorities have issued cease-and-desist orders as well as subpoenas to both companies. The two companies are both based in Texas and have been accused of illegal robocall investigations in the past, the FCC noted in the document.

The calls were spoofed to appear to come from the spouse of former New Hampshire Democratic Party official Kathy Sullivan. Investigators from the Industry Traceback Group discovered that Lingo Telecom was the originating provider for the robocalls. After being informed of this, Lingo then told investigators that Life Corporation was the initiating party behind the calls and subsequently suspended service to the company.
