suggests that Americans looking to reduce the number of unwanted calls sign up. The FTC said consumers who still get scam calls can file a complaint.
Pai, whose agency works with the FTC to prevent robocalls, said telemarketing calls are the No. 1 complaint at the FCC and the top consumer protection priority."We really beefed up our enforcement efforts. The largest fines in the FCC's 85-year history have been imposed on robocallers who have been bombarding American consumers with these scam calls.
"Because of the internet we can get all of these calls from abroad [and] they seem to be coming from a local source," Pai said."We empowered some of the carriers to block calls that obviously spoofed; so the same area code, the next three digits are same. We want to empower them to take action."
Another example of government that can’t do its job - and the Left thinks government should be bigger. Just don’t get it - take the worst business in the world and make it bigger - guess to satisfy their own egos.
Telecom is more than happy to be complicit in every other govt program — why not this?
FCC How about increasing enforcement the Do Not Call list? Unless you're telling us that your own Do Not Call list is ineffective?
Phone providers like AT&T want to charge a monthly fee to stop them. The FCC is out of touch.
