Earlier this month the U.S. Federal Communications Commission levied a massive fine against a company for making more than 20 million robocalls from obscured numbers. But fines for call spoofing aren’t enough, according to 35 state attorneys general in a comment filed with the FCC.
The state-level officials want “new rules authorizing voice service providers to block illegally spoofed calls…Likewise we encourage all providers to use all available tools to accurately identify illegal calls, including continually monitoring call traffic patterns to develop and refine criteria for identifying such calls; and continually updating and developing technology in the event current systems and solutions become obsolete.”
