Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and his office announced that they are filing a lawsuit against a New York-based company for placing hundreds of thousands of unwanted robocalls in the Commonwealth.

According to Shapiro's office, Fluent Inc., a company that connects advertisers to potential new customers through data collection, and its subsidiaries, American Prize Center LLC, Deliver Technology LLC, Rewardzone USA LLC, and Samples & Savings LLC collected personal data, phone numbers, and then sold them to telemarketing companies.

Thousands of those numbers were on Pennsylvania's "Do-Not-Call List."
