Wisconsin sues Florida company alleging no-call violations

The state is suing a Florida-based company that sells magazine subscription renewals for violating Wisconsin's no-call policy.

The complaint was filed Monday against Publishers Marketing Service and alleges the company has made numerous calls to Wisconsin residents without registering as a telephone solicitor and has called numbers listed on the state's no-call registry, according to a state attorney general news release.

In addition, the lawsuit claims that the Florida company made misrepresentations to sell magazine subscriptions, such as lying to customers about planned subscription price increases to panic them into renewing.

The case has been assigned to Dane County Circuit Court Judge Amy Smith. The state is represented by Assistant Attorney General Lewis W. Beilin.
