I'd rather a $500,000 fine that actually gets collected than the ridiculous approach we take to spam calls where we fine people [9 figures](https://commsrisk.com/more-enormous-fines-proposed-for-robocallers-who-never-paid-their-previous-fines/ https://commsrisk.com/more-enormous-fines-proposed-for-roboc...) and make no attempt to collect it. TCPA's $1500/call sounds great but in actuality no one has have ever paid anything close to that and the spammers don't have anywhere near the amount of money to do that.
- ericmay 4y agoSure, really we just need law enforcement to do its job here. I'm not sure why they don't. I've had a lot of issues with spam calls that began only when my mom became terminally ill and I was assisting her. They'd call "this is senior aide helper" (among others) and would call "verified" from the carrier with local numbers. I can't imagine how many Americans who are dealing with trouble in their lives are being scammed here. The FCC should fine the telecom companies $1,500/reported spam call. That would stop this over night. I don't know who is paying who to prevent us from stopping this, but it sure as fucking hell looks to me like people in our government don't give a damn about citizens.
