The FCC just issued its largest robocalling fine ever for a robocaller (WARNING autoplay video) from Florida. He is charged with making almost 100 million robocalls over a three month period using spoofed caller ID. According to the FCC he duped a large number of elderly people into purchasing bogus travel deals. I hate to hear about people taking advantage of old folks and I hope this fine puts the robocaller in the poor house. However, this is just a drop in the bucket of total robocalls and the FCC needs to keep up the good work and get more of these scumbags off our phones. Thanks cageymaru.
"There is available open-source software that can be misused by someone to make thousands of automated phone calls with the click of a button," Abramovich told the Senate in April. "There are websites right now. ... that offer volume pricing for using their robocalling system that can handle millions of calls."
