http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=1039189Five companies selling anti-virus software must pay over $640,000 for making telemarketing calls to Canadiansю
The telemarketers were attempting to sell anti-virus software to Canadians. During some calls, the telemarketers asked to be given remote access to the home owner’s computer under the pretext of removing viruses and other malicious software.
In addition, the companies made unsolicited telemarketing calls without being registered with the National DNCL operator, and without having purchased a subscription to the list.
As part of its investigation, in November 2015, the CRTC for the first time executed a warrant to enter and inspect a property serving as one of the companies’ base of operations in Brampton, ON.
In the Notices of Violation issued to the three Canadian-based companies, the penalty amounts set out are:
Thee Future Web Ltd. – $194,000
8166200 Canada Inc. – $76,000
NextGen Webstore Ltd. – $56,000
The companies have 30 days to either pay the penalty or file representations to the CRTC.
The Notices of Violation issued to the two India-based call centres are currently with the Indian Central Bureau of Investigation for service on the two companies. One Notice of Violation is accompanied with a penalty of $292,000 and the other $25,500.
