Consumers across the United States might not be getting as many of those annoying “warranty services” robocalls now that a South Florida network of businesses agreed to a lifetime ban.
American Vehicle Protection Corp. (AVP) and a handful of related defendants, including CG3 Solutions, Tony Gonzalez Consulting Group, Tony Allen Gonzalez and brother, Charles Gonzalez, have agreed to permanently stop participating in the extended auto warranty market and any other type of outbound telemarketing, the Federal Trade Commission announced.
The agreement between the companies and the FTC still must be approved by a federal judge, the FTC said in a news release. The agreement includes a $6.6 million judgment against the defendants that will be suspended because of their inability to pay it, the release says.
