Attorney General Nessel Wins Judgment Forcing Robocaller Out of Telecommunications Business

LANSING – This week, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and seven other states won a court ruling permanently barring robocall scammer John Spiller from operating in the telecommunications industry and ordering him to pay more than $600,000 in costs and attorney’s fees for violating a 2023 court order. Spiller owned and operated several voice service providers that initiated and facilitated billions of robocalls, including to people whose numbers were on the Do Not Call Registry. 

“Mr. Spiller owned and operated companies behind billions of intrusive and deceptive robocalls,” Nessel said. “I am proud to have worked alongside my colleagues to secure this judgment ensuring he can no longer harass Michiganders. I will continue using every tool at my disposal to hold bad actors accountable and protect consumers from illegal robocalls.” 

In March 2023, Attorney General Nessel obtained judgments shutting down a massive robocall operation involving Spiller and other defendants. As part of the judgment, Spiller was banned from making robocalls or engaging in telemarketing; but despite this permanent injunction, Spiller, through the use of alias names and new telecommunications companies, continued to enable the distribution of deceptive and abusive robocalls to consumers.    

This court order now bars Spiller from starting any other telecommunications companies, permanently bans him from working with certain individuals who helped him engage in this violative conduct, bans him from further making any deceptive representations using aliases in government filings, and requires that he pay over $600,000 in attorney’s fees and costs to the states who joined in the litigation against him.  

Spiller’s companies included Rising Eagle Capital Group LLC, Rising Eagle Capital Group–Cayman, JSquared Telecom LLC, and more.   

Attorney General Nessel was joined in winning this order by the Attorneys General of Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, and Texas.
