Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs American Automotive Alliance. Court of Common Pleas of Erie County, Pennsylvania
As of June 6, 2023
Attorney General Michelle Henry announced three settlements —
totaling more than $90,000 — against telemarketers that allegedly
violated Pennsylvania’s “Do-Not-Call” Law and contacted people on the
no-call list.
According to the Office of Attorney General’s investigation, American Automotive Alliance, LLC, of Florida, and Delaware-based AM Protection, Inc., along with its owner Mariam Nasrati, marketed auto warranties in the pre-recorded calls. Ohio-based Mammoth Marketing Group, LLC, made calls marketing Medicare benefits to senior citizens.
In Pennsylvania, telemarketers are required to register with the
Office of Attorney General and provide a surety bond of $50,000 – this
bond will ensure the telemarketing agency is bound by state
telemarketing laws. Telemarketers are prohibited from placing
solicitation calls to consumers who register their telephone numbers on
the “Do-Not-Call” list. The investigation revealed that none of the
three companies had registered as telemarketers with the Office of
Attorney General.
Some consumers reported that the calls appeared on their caller IDs
as calls being made from a local number, even though they originated out
of state. That deceptive practice, called “spoofing,” intends to trick
the consumer into answering the phone; it is on the rise nationwide.
As part of the terms of the settlement agreements, or Assurances of
Voluntary Compliance, all three companies are required to comply with
the Pennsylvania Telemarketer Registration Act, including not calling
residents with phone numbers on the “Do-Not-Call” List.
The Assurances of Voluntary Compliance were filed in Allegheny, Westmoreland, and Erie County Courts of Common Pleas.
