Attorney General Todd Rokita Files Lawsuit Against Alleged Robocalling Scammers

0

Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a lawsuit against an Indiana company that allegedly acted as a gateway into the United States for robocallers in India, the Philippines and Singapore. The company, Startel Communication LLC, was owned and operated in Evansville by Wanda Hall and Abhijit Chowdhury, an Indian national.

These robocallers allegedly made over 4.8 million phone calls to Hoosiers and hundreds of millions of calls to other states across the United States. The robocallers allegedly operated a variety of scams, including IRS and Social Security Administration imposter scams, legal action or arrest scams, computer support scams, Apple support scams, and Amazon subscription scams.

“Hoosiers are sick and tired of being harassed by illegal and unwanted robocalls, and Kathy and I are two of them,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Just as I promised, we will stay on the offense in our efforts to protect Indiana consumers and bring these people to justice.”

This lawsuit is part of Attorney General Rokita’s crackdown on providers that knowingly profit from robocalls. The investigation started with a few consumer complaints and took over a year to complete.

The suit also includes two California companies — Piratel LLC, which routed 3.1 million of the robocalls, and VoIP Essential LLC, which routed 1.5 million of the robocalls. Both companies knew Startel was sending robocalls, and they were each paid more than $100,000 to look the other way.

Of the Hoosiers who were called, more than 780,000 of them were on the federal Do Not Call Registry and over 605,000 were on the Indiana Do Not Call list.

The lawsuit alleges the companies and individuals committed millions of violations of federal and Indiana law, with potential fines in the billions.

Attorney General Rokita offers the following tips to avoid scams and unwanted calls:

Aces Look To Continue Streak At UNI And Drake

0

UE Faces Panthers And Bulldogs This Weekend

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Riding its top streak in over 15 years, the University of Evansville volleyball team looks to continues its winning ways this weekend at UNI and Drake.  On Friday, the Purple Aces will take on the Panthers in a 6 p.m. contest in Cedar Falls before traveling to Des Moines for a 5 p.m. match on Saturday.

Last Time Out

– Evansville completed a 3-match homestand with its third consecutive 3-0 win by defeating Missouri State on Tuesday

– Melanie Feliciano led the way with 19 kills to help the Aces earn the sweep in impressive fashion, picking up a 25-15 victory in the third set

– Giulia Cardona added 17 kills while Alondra Vazquez picked up the 10th double-double of the season with 14 kills and 11 digs

– With 39 assists in three sets, Taya Haffner upped her season average to 11.27 per set

– Kate Tsironis recorded a career-best six block assists while Rachel Basinski had her top match of the season, posting 12 digs

Big-time Homestand

– A refocused UE group entered last week’s homestand with an 0-3 MVC mark but showed what it is capable of by sweeping all three matches at Meeks Family Fieldhouse

– UE defeated Bradley and Illinois State over the weekend before picking up another 3-0 win on Tuesday over Missouri State

– The current streak is just the second time since joining the MVC in 1994 that UE has swept three MVC matches in a row…the other instance came in September of 2006 when the Aces defeated Illinois State, Indiana State and Drake

Three out of Five Ain’t Bad!

– As of Oct. 13, Evansville has three of the MVC’s top five kill leaders with Alondra Vazquez (4.56/set) leading the league, Giulia Cardona ranking third (3.78) and Melanie Feliciano sitting in fifth (3.49)

– No other team in the country can boast those numbers as just six other NCAA conferences even have a team with three players currently ranked in the top ten

– The closest any team comes is having three ranked in the top seven with Marist (MAAC) and San Jose State (Mountain West) doing so

Player of the Week

– Racking up 18 kills while hitting a season-high .600, Melanie Feliciano lifted UE to a 3-0 win over Illinois State on Saturday and was recognized as the MVC Player of the Week on Monday

– She followed that up with a 19-kill performance in the win over the Bears to finish the 3-match homestand averaging 5.44 kills per set while hitting .537

– Feliciano has moved into 5th place in the MVC with a season average of 3.78 per set

Block Party

– A career-high of six block assists is just the latest accomplishment this season for Kate Tsironis, has continued to raise her average

– Over the last seven matches, Tsironis has registered 5 solo blocks and 18 block assists, an average of 1.10 per set…the recent streak has upped her season mark to 0.76 per game

Record Watch?

– The 11.27 assist/set average for Taya Haffner is on pace to be one of the best in school history…it is the best for the program in the 25-point rally scoring era and currently second-best in the UE record book (since 1991) – the only one higher was a 12.01 average by Betsy Knott in 1998

– She is set to be just the third UE player since 1998 to average over 10 per set

– Alondra Vazquez currently averages 4.56 kills, which is on pace to be the best in UE history…it is also one of the best that the MVC has seen in recent years…since 2005, just two players have finished with a higher average

WATER SERVICE DISRUPTION & PRECAUTIONARY BOIL ADVISORY EXPANDED

0

EVANSVILLE, IND. – (Updated at 1:45 p.m.) The water service disruption and precautionary boil advisory along North First Avenue have been expanded to include a larger portion of the North Park areas, including properties east of First Avenue and south of Buena Vista Road.

Some of the properties impacted include Woodbridge Apartments, Buena Vista Apartments, Holy Redeemer School, and several medical facilities and restaurants.

At approximately 9:35 a.m. today, EWSU began shutting off water to multiple homes and businesses along a stretch of First Avenue to repair a 24-inch water line. The initial area impacted was mostly east of First Avenue from just north of Buena Vista Road to Old Post Road. Water will be off in the area until approximately 6 pm today.

EWSU water construction crews began repairing the water line in the 4200 block of First Avenue on October 5. The repairs could not be finished without shutting off water and removing a 4-foot long section of pipe.

Customers are advised to boil water used for cooking and drinking until the precautionary boil advisory is lifted. The advisory will remain in effect for at least 48-hours after water service is restored. Customers can visit ewsu.com/boiladvisorymap to check the status of the precautionary boil advisory.
