Recently attended a meeting where one of the topics was robo-calls. … Last year over 5.3 billion calls were made. Not all robo calls are bad … the medical community uses them to remind us of appointments, as well as our schools, churches, numerous individuals and organizations, mostly for notification purposes. They become bad when the purpose is fraud. According to the speaker, robo calls are the number one complaint at the FCC and FTC. He cited one bad actor who was fined $3 million, but he or she was OK after a $30 million dollar profit … just the cost of doing business.
Frustrating when your own number is spoofed … but it happens and regulators do not have an answer.
