IMHO, the way to stop robocalling is to go after the services that employ them. If they're asking people to buy something, follow the money and slap a fine on the seller instead of the robocalling service. Robo calling profits ought to dry up as vendors become wary of using them.
- djrogers 9y agoIn this case the entity using the robocalls was foreign, so no FCC fine there.
- CaptSpify 9y agoThe problem I see with this is: If a business wants to damage their competitor, they can just start making robocalls on their behalf. I like your idea and would like it to happen for pretty much all advertising, but it seems like it can be easily abused.
- zo1 9y agoOf course you won't just follow the "product". You'll follow the money, too. And that will probably very clearly not lead to the target product that you're trying to damage.
- rhizome 9y agoAnd how do you go after the seller when scam voicemails don't disclose the name of the company, and when you get a human they hang up as soon as you ask?
- mikeash 9y agoThey have to collect payment from you at some point, unless they're running as some sort of weird anti-charity. Make a payment, and then follow it.
