FRANKFORT, Ky. — Attorney General Russell Coleman, R-Ky., has opened an investigation into four of the country's largest voice providers to crack down on suspected illegal robocalls across their networks, his office said.

Coleman said the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, a bipartisan effort, is tracking Inteliquent, Bandwidth, Lumen and Peerless. His office said the four providers are responsible for millions of robocalls each year disguised as Amazon, Apple, the IRS and Social Security.

“Kentuckians are fed up with the never-ending robocalls that steal their time and try to scam them out of money,” Coleman said in the release. "Working with AGs on both sides of the aisle, we’re taking on this growing threat to protect Kentucky families from this lawless conduct.”
