Walter Monk and the entity Life Corp were named as the culprits who created the deepfake calls.

The company identified the entity Life Corp as the group that created the calls in the first place.
However, wireless providers have a legal obligation to protect their networks from transmitting illegal traffic.
A call monitoring service estimates that between 5,000 and 25,000 robocalls were made to New Hampshire voters.
Regulators are investigating whether ElevenLabs software was used to create the deepfakes, according to the Attorney General.
This is not the first time Lingo has been the subject of an illegal robocall investigation.
Since 2021, the Texas phone company has been identified as a provider of 61 illegal calls originating overseas.
This is also not Life Corps first rodeo with the FCC, according to the letter.
The entity was issued a citation for delivering illegal robocalls to residential lines back in 2003.
Last week, the FCC pushed to outlaw AI-generated robocalls under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991.
