Ruppersberger’s son accused of breaking telemarketing law

The Pennsylvania attorney general’s office says Cory Ruppersberger, the son of Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, violated its state’s Do Not Call law more than a half-million times while working out of an office in Baltimore.

“This is the most extensive campaign of telemarketing calls to consumers on the Do Not Call list ever investigated by my office,” Attorney General Tom Corbett said in announcing that Pennsylvania is suing for up to $500 million in civil penalties.

Cory Ruppersberger, 34, is accused of calling Pennsylvanians in 36 counties through an Indian call center to sell mortgages. His father, a Baltimore County Democrat, voted to authorize the Federal Trade Commission to enforce the National Do Not Call Registry.
