- colinbartlett 9y agoDespite having a mobile phone and being on the do not call list, I get 10 to 20 unsolicited telemarketing calls PER DAY. Each one requires a detailed form to fill out on the FCC site which I send off into the oblivion only to have the call volume go unchanged (or increase). Sorry, tragedy of the commons and all, but it's just not worth it to me to take the time to do this.
- themoat 9y agoHow do I accurately file FCC complaints for spoofed numbers? How can I hold the actual caller responsible instead of the normal person like me who had their number spoofed?
- slenk 9y agoI don't know who is supposed to enforce it, but I feel as if its almost a list of "hey this person will be MAD if we call, this could be fun"
- RightMillennial 9y agoThat doesn't help. I'm on it, and I regularly get spam calls that are all conveniently from my area code and a similar exchange code.
- thanatos_dem 9y agoYup, this approach of using mostly similar numbers to the victim’s phone number is the new hotness in robo-calls. NPR had a piece on it last year - https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=544447826 https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?stor... Relevant quote from FCC Chairman Pai: “Which is the ultimate solution, I think, to this problem, which is to find a call authentication standard.” And there’s no timeline when that’ll happen. So buckle in, we’ll be here a while.
