Madigan Sues Telemarketer for Cramming
Attorney General Lisa Madigan today filed a lawsuit against a Las Vegas-based corporation, alleging that, in offering Internet yellow pages listings, this company bilked small businesses in Illinois and across the country through a practice known as “cramming.” Cramming involves adding charges to a consumer’s telephone bill that the consumer never wanted or ordered.

Our office gets these calls every day and the worst part is, even if this AG is successful, the company will still be in business, and will continue the same scam. The $50k will probably be reduced to only a couple grand. Fines seem to always be reduced for these scammers.
