The Federal Communications Commission has proposed what would be its largest fine ever – just under $300 million – against the biggest robocall company that it’s ever investigated.
The company made a staggering 5 billion scam calls over the course of three months last year, which the agency notes is enough to ‘have called each person in the United States 15 times.’
Since the robocallers met the definition for ‘egregious violations,’ the FCC decided to impose its largest fine ever: $299,997,000.
Consumers were subjected to relentless calls that often began with something like: ‘We’ve been trying to reach you concerning your car’s extended warranty,’ and then prompting them to speak with a ‘warranty specialist’ about the matter.

People used the terms ‘incessant’ and ‘harassment’ to describe the calls, the FCC says.
I answer, question who they are, and then cuss them until they end the call.
I don’t answer them.
