As some of you know, Sinch, a communications company in Stockholm, Sweden, recently completed the acquisition of Onvoy, also known as Inteliquent. Sinch completed the acquisition on December 9th, 2021. @scamterminator2021 was the first to mention that Sinch was purchasing Inteliquent. Many scambaiters here as well as myself have emailed Sinch about this issue. In our emails to them, we said we reported not only several but countless numbers to Inteliquent to no avail. I remember reporting a number to Inteliquent as well. The number was (844) 973-3455. It was used for a pharmaceutical scam meant to target Canadians. While I may have gotten a response, the message I got from Inteliquent wasn’t helpful. They provided me a link to the same reporting form I used initially and the sender didn’t mention his/her name. To me, I found this unprofessional. This is the only experience I had with Inteliquent. I have emailed Sinch, the new owner of Inteliquent, twice already and explained how Inteliquent was indirectly responsible for telephone fraud and violating the DNC (Do Not Call List) and the TCPA Act (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) by allowing scammers to steal from people in their many ways. Here are my two emails I have sent to Sinch:

Inteliquent violates the TCPA Act and DNC because they allow telemarketing, advertising, and ATDS (Synthesized voice calls) and sales calls without prior notice. However, in this case, there is a twist: Scammers claim to falsely advertise, do fraudulent telemarketing, and make fraudulent sales and ATDS calls without any written authorization. This is called cold-calling, also known as an unsolicited call. As of now, Sinch has not responded to any of the emails I have sent them. According to ScammerBlaster, 60-70% of all scam calls use Inteliquent for fraudulent activity.
Inteliquent has allowed many tech support scams, refund scams, income and tax scams, insurance scams, nuisance, ransom, impersonation scams, medical scams, pharmaceutical scams, warranty scams (of all kinds, like car and home, for instance), wire transfer scams, gift card scams, electronic currency scams (like bitcoin and cryptocurrency scams, for example), debt collector scams, romance scams, online-ordering scams, energy scams, lawyer scams, law enforcement scams, social security scams, stimulus/government grant scams, government scams, federal scams, lottery scams, and FBI impersonation.
Please email [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] to raise awareness. Share your experience with Sinch so they know. The more people emailing them will force Sinch to question Inteliquent and possibly press charges if possible.
