BOISE - A telephone solicitor who called Nampa residents offering carpet cleaning services has paid a $10,000 fine for violating the Do Not Call registry.

The Idaho Attorney General's office says Authorized Cleaning Services used an autodialer to market its services. The A.G.'s office got more than 75 complaints from people who were called despite being on the no-call list. Some were called several times a day.

John Belcastro, who operated the company, agreed to pay the fine and stop soliciting Idaho residents as part of a settlement with the Idaho Attorney General's office.
