The US Federal Commission (FCC) proposed to impose a fine of almost $ 300 million on two men accused of using the automatic calls with offers of auto insurance.
According to FCC, the residents of California Roy Cox Jr. and Michael Aaron Jones conducted a campaign, as a result of which, within 3 months of 2021, robots made 500 million people 500 million. The proposed fine is the largest FCC in history.
calls were carried out through their company Sumco Panama, “as well as through other domestic and international organizations (some of them are located in Panama and Hungary).
Calls tried to mislead people, forcing them to think that the deadline for their insurance is expired, and force them to go to the “insurance specialist”. In addition to making fraudulent calls by robots, men are accused of Spulting – calling robots imitated the numbers of local operators.
Despite the fact that many automatic calls came from foreign subscribers, the calls used the “Replacement of the neighbors” in the calls so that the caller’s number was like the number of local subscribers.
Roy Cokes Jr. and Aaron Jones are among 22 defendants in the lawsuit filed by the Prosecutor General Ogio in July. Then a lawsuit was filed against them: the FCC authorized telephone providers to block all the traffic associated with the operation.
