The general assembly finds that customers of telephone services have been subjected to fraud in the sale and advertisement of telephone long distance and local service, as well as other services related to residential and business telephone service. The general assembly further finds that companies acting in a lawful manner have lost customers to companies that obtain customers through fraud and deception.
It is the intent of the general assembly to protect telephone service subscribers from fraud and to provide statutory remedies for the victims of fraud in the sale of telecommunications service. It is the intent of the general assembly to provide the attorney general with additional remedies to address the issue of fraud in the sale of telecommunications service. It is further the intent of the general assembly that this chapter does not limit the rights or remedies that are otherwise available to a consumer or the attorney general under any other law.
