FTC Unveils Effort To Crackdown On Robocalls
(Undated) — The Federal Trade Commission is unveiling an effort with law enforcement agencies to crack down on robocalls. The agency announced “Operation Call It Quits” on Tuesday. It encompasses more than 90 new enforcement actions against companies behind at least one-billion robocalls. In total, the FTC has brought 145 cases against nearly 500 companies and nearly 400 individuals responsible for illegal calls. Officials say it’s a step in the right direction, but because many of these offenders are overseas, they’re expecting some difficulties.
