HARRISBURG -- The Pennsylvania Attorney General said AT&T Corp. will be required to pay about $35,000 in fines and costs for soliciting customers on the state's Do Not Call list.

Attorney General Tom Corbett on Friday said AT&T admitted no wrongdoing but agreed to pay $29,500 in civil penalties and $5,000 for investigation costs.

According to the attorney general, dozens of consumers on the "no call" list complained that they received multiple calls from AT&T offering them discount long distance service plans.

According to the complaints, consumers reminded AT&T telemarketers that they were on the state's list, and requested that their telephone numbers be placed on AT&T's internal "no call" list.

However, AT&T allegedly told consumers that they were allowed to contact residents because the state's list did not exist, the consumer's name was not on the Pennsylvania's or AT&T's list, the calls were generated outside the state and other misleading information.

Several consumers also claimed that the company blocked its telephone number disabling their caller ID systems in violation of state law.

AT&T claimed that one of its telemarketers experienced computer problems that resulted in numerous calls being placed to consumers whose names were legitimately registered.

In a statement, AT&T said it was "pleased to have reached an amicable resolution" over the issue, saving both the company and the attorney general the time and expense that would have been consumed by litigation.
