Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced at a press conference this morning that his office has filed suit against three telemarketing companies that are allegedly placing illegal calls about car warranties.  The AG’s office has warned Arkansans about this before.  According to a news release these phone calls are happening all across the country.  The warranties offered cost more than they should and are often unnecessary.  The calls are illegal because the companies have made calls to those on the do-not-call database, issued robocalls, used pre-recorded messages for commercial purposes and used false caller ID numbers.  The three companies are Auto Warranty Solutions, Vehicle Services, Inc. and Dealer Warranty Services.

Release on the jump.
