The Trump administration has filed lawsuits against five companies and three individuals allegedly responsible for making millions of fake robocalls to American consumers from overseas, mostly from India, and leading to massive financial losses, the Department of Justice has said.

Seeking a restraining order against such call centers and robocalls, the Department of Justice in its class-action lawsuit alleged that the companies were warned many times not to carry fraudulent robocalls — including government and business-imposter calls — yet they continued to do so and facilitated foreign-based fraud schemes targeting Americans.

“The calls, most of which originated in India, led to massive financial losses to elderly and vulnerable victims across the nation,” it said on Tuesday.

One case has been filed against Ecommerce National LLC d/b/a TollFreeDeals.com; SIP Retail d/b/a sipretail.com; and their owner/operators, Nicholas Palumbo, 38, and Natasha Palumbo, 33, of Scottsdale, Arizona.
