California Security Company Fined for Violating the Kansas No-call Act

Topeka, KS - infoZine - Outreach Marketing Group, Direct Source Media and Secure 1, Inc., were ordered to pay the fine in a consent judgment approved this week by Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks. In addition, Hendricks ordered the company to refrain from further violations of the No-Call Act.

The attorney generals office received three complaints from Johnson County residents in 2012 and 2013 alleging the company called them to sell home security systems or security monitoring systems. The consumers phone numbers were registered on the Do-Not-Call list.

The case was investigated by the attorney generals Consumer Protection Division. Assistant Attorney General Meghan Stoppel of Attorney General Derek Schmidts office litigated the case.

Earlier this year, Schmidt proposed a new law, which will give the attorney general additional authority to enforce violations of the No-Call Act when telemarketers call consumers cell phones. That law was passed unanimously by the Kansas Legislature and signed by the governor. The law takes effect July 1.
