“I am always excited to announce fines to robocallers no matter the amount,” Maxwell said. “The staff at the PSC is working hard to make sure these illegal callers know not to call the people of Mississippi. I’m glad to see these penalties assessed and I will continue to combat this problem for our state.”
Additionally, the Commission sent four Notices of Alleged Violations to alternate addresses of businesses whose prior notices were returned or unclaimed:
· Turnkey Auto LLC
· Student Loan Financial Assistance
· National Brokers of America
· CS Marketing LLC
