NRCC robocalls hit NY-29

A friend emails over, quoting Rochester Turning [1]:

We’ve been getting word of annoying late night calls
from a Republican robocalling outfit posing as Massa
supporters.

The details we’ve gotten so far are vague, but the
seem to mirror a statewide and perhaps nationwide
pattern described by Josh Marshall at Talking Points
Memo:

"People on the ground seem to be putting the pieces
together. A wave of harassing calls paid for by the
NRCC targetting probable Democratic voters and
uncommitteds with the intent of getting them pissed
off at multiple repeat call-backs from what they think
is the Dem campaign."

As I understand it, these calls are illegal under New York law, and violate FCC regulations. Is this a case for the Attorney General?
