FRESNO - A California company that provides voice-over-Internet “voice broadcasting” services has agreed to stop transmitting illegal robocalls to consumers to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that it violated the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR). The company also will pay a $75,000 civil penalty as part of the settlement. A voice broadcaster is a company that uses computers to broadcast pre-recorded messages to many recipients at one time.
The FTC charged that Skyy Consulting, Inc., which does business as CallFire, assisted and facilitated its clients in placing outbound pre-recorded telemarketing calls to consumers without their written consent. Such telemarketing robocalls have been illegal since September 1, 2009. The FTC charged that the defendants either knew, or consciously avoided knowing, that their clients were violating the TSR. CallFire is headquartered in Santa Monica, Calif.
