A coalition of 48 states and the District alleges that Avid Telecom facilitated 21 billion calls from 2018 to 2023, including many on the Do Not Call Registry.

filed in the U.S. District Court in Arizona, regulators alleged Avid Telecom routed calls on behalf of its clients and found ways to spoof the phone numbers to increase the likelihood that a call would be picked up. The company is accused of transmitting 7.5 billion automated calls to people on the National Do Not Call Registry, a practice that violates laws prohibiting deceptive telemarketing practices.

An industry group designated by the FCC to report spam calls issued at least 329 notifications to Avid, according to the complaint, but company executives allegedly ignored the warnings.
