Three companies settled for ~$90K combined for calling PA DNC-listed consumers. None were registered as telemarketers with PA AG. Used caller ID spoofing to display local numbers despite calling from out of state. Auto warranty and Medicare pitches targeting seniors. PA requires $50K surety bond + registration — operating without it is a standalone violation regardless of what you say on the call. Spoofing local numbers = deceptive practices under PA UTP/CPL.

PA AG Henry joined 49-state Avid Telecom lawsuit days after settling with Fluent LLC. PA enforcement model targets both supply (lead generators like Fluent) and infrastructure (VoIP providers like Avid). PA's Telemarketer Registration Act provides additional state-law hooks: operating without registration is a per-violation penalty even before considering the robocall itself.

Settlement required Fluent to pay $250K and stop contacting consumers on PA DNC List without express written consent that clearly discloses the specific requesting party (with hyperlink or popup). This consent transparency requirement goes beyond federal standards — PA now requires consumers to see EXACTLY who will call them before consenting. Lead generators can no longer hide behind "one of our partners may contact you" language.

PA AG Shapiro sued Fluent Inc. — a lead generator that harvested 4.2 million PA consumers' data through promotional websites and sold their info as "leads" to telemarketers. Key innovation: targeting the lead supply chain, not just the callers. Fluent allegedly provided "substantial assistance or support" to telemarketers in violation of the TSR. Established that deceptive consent collection by lead generators creates liability up the entire chain.
