BASKING RIDGE, N.J. (AP) - Verizon Wireless has obtained a permanent injunction blocking a Miami telemarketer from making automated calls to its customers, the cellular phone company said Thursday.
The injunction comes after Verizon Wireless reached an agreement with All Star Vacations and Marketing Group Inc., which Verizon sued in February, along with another Florida travel company, for illegally soliciting wireless phone customers.
Verizon Wireless, jointly owned by Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC, said more than 500,000 of its customers received telephone calls in Spanish from All Star on behalf of the two travel companies. The customers were told they had won a trip to one of several resorts and then directed to call a toll-free number to claim the prize.
