North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein is seeking hundreds of billions of dollars in a lawsuit filed against a Texas company that claims it helped scammers place robocalls flooding phones.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Texas-based telecommunications company Articul8 helped facilitate fraudulent calls across the country, according to the lawsuit. That includes tens of millions of calls to residents of North Carolina even though the company knew or should have known it was helping criminals try to defraud people, according to the lawsuit.

Rather than targeting individual scammers, the state is targeting the company that routed their calls and made a good profit doing so, Stein said.

Articul8 did not respond to the newspaper’s email request for comment.

The lawsuit points to a period from December 2020 to April 2021, when Articul8 is said to have helped alleged scammers make more than 515 million robocalls.

Stein said her office knew of a woman in Raleigh who had lost more than $1 million. He said that if the scammers who defrauded the woman or anyone else in North Carolina used the services of Articul8, then any money the state might make from the lawsuit could go toward recouping some of their losses.
