A company accused of sending millions of robocalled pitches for auto warranties has agreed to settle with the Federal Trade Commission.
Voice Touch Inc. will pay $665,000 in customer redress. James A. Dunne of Voice Touch will also have to turn over the proceeds from the sale of his second house in Florida as well as a Porsche and Lexus, according to the FTC. The settlement also permanently bars Voice Touch from telemarketing.
We first told you in may that the FTC had taken action against two Illinois-based companies suspected of sending pre-recorded pitches for auto warranties.
Lawsuits are still pending against other Chicago-based people and companies, all initiated after the FTC received millions of complaints. Consuming Interests readers certainly shared their opinions about these annoying auto warranty calls. The FTC settled in September with Transcontinental Warranty Inc., the company accused of selling the warranties themselves.
