Verizon continues its recent campaign of turning robocallers into charitable contributions, this time by settling a lawsuit against two of the companies behind those awful car warranty calls. Last time it was for $25,000; this time it’s for $50,000, all of which is being donated to the Joyful Heart Foundation, which Wireless Week describes as “a nonprofit devoted to empowering survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse.”

So who’s behind the robocallers? Here’s a list compiled from WirelessWeek and ComputerWorld articles. The first two were the ones involved in the $50k settlement with Verizon; the other three have been named in a similar, unrelated suit filed in New Jersey Superior Court.
