The Oklahoma attorney general’s office filed a lawsuit against an Arizona telemarketing company after the company allegedly offered Oklahoma consumers a bogus identity theft protection service, Attorney General Drew Edmondson said.
The lawsuit, filed today in Oklahoma County District Court, accuses Consumer Benefits Group Inc. (CBG) of violating the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act, the Commercial Telephone Solicitation Act and the Oklahoma Telemarketer Restriction Act.
“Under Oklahoma law, all telemarketers must register with the attorney general’s office before doing business in Oklahoma,” Edmondson said. “Consumer Benefits Group was not registered, and they were also placing calls to Oklahomans who are registered on the state’s Don’t Call list.”
The attorney general’s office filed the suit after receiving complaints from two consumers, Edmondson said.
