The Consumerist has reported that AT&T Mobility is has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court to learn who is behind automated telephone calls to AT&T subscribers.  AT&T claimes that the telephone number 800-219-7425 is behind over 13 million telephone calls to AT&T subscribers. 

Elizabeth Lordan, a spokesperson at the Federal Trade Commission, said such telemarketing also appears to violate the agency’s Telemarketing Sales Rules governing the National Do Not Call Registry. Lordan said she is not aware of any completed FTC investigations involving autodial-based extended auto warranty telemarketing. Lordan also said she was unable to say whether the FTC has any probes in progress.

Rosemary Kimball, an FCC spokesperson, said the agency could not immediately provide data on consumer complaints about such telemarketing. Kimball said she was not aware of any FCC enforcement actions on extended warranty telemarketing.
