Act on robocalls – or else, FCC warns phone companies
Fox News
By September 28, phone companies must refuse to accept traffic that is not listed in the Robocall Mitigation Database – which verifies the call is coming from the caller’s actual phone number.
"Protecting consumers from scammers that use robocall and spoofing tools is a top priority," FCC Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement. "Our message to providers is clear: certify under penalty of perjury the steps you are taking to stop illegal robocalls, or we will block your calls," Rosenworcel said.More Related News
