FTC Mails Refund Claim Forms to Robocaller Victims

Nearly 12,000 consumers defrauded by a massive auto warranty robocaller scheme have been mailed claim forms by the Federal Trade Commission to obtain refunds.

The robocaller, VoiceTouch Inc., working with other scammers, swindled 11,780 victims via illegal robocalls on behalf of Transcontinental Warranty, Inc., which sold the bogus auto warranties. Trancontinental hired Voice Touch to bombard consumers with millions of deceptive pre-recorded calls in 2009.
