The Department of Justice has filed a complaint on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission charging that a network of companies and individual defendants facilitated tens of millions of robocalls.

From 2013 to at least 2020, Stratics is accused of selling wholesale session initiation protocol termination service to VOIP providers, including Netlatitude, as well as selling access to its ringless voicemail platform. The government agencies contend that Stratics continued to do this despite notification that some of its customers were breaking the law with robocalls.

“This case targets the ecosystem of companies who perpetrate illegal telemarketing to cheat American consumers who are struggling financially. The FTC will continue to take aggressive action to protect consumers from the scourge of illegal robocalls,” said Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.
