👏👏👏

[FCC @FCC]

The @FCC’s Enforcement Bureau today sought to cut off scam #robocalls from a provider who has been a target of previous enforcement actions. https://t.co/jXh0a49yDz

[FCC @FCC]

The FCC’s Robocall Response Team today took decisive actions to shut down an apparent homeowner-focused #robocall scam campaign. https://t.co/yLwHgRQDry

[Robokiller @robokiller]

In 2022, RK estimates that #spoofed #spamcalls represented ~40% of US illegal scam call traffic (largely originating overseas) - down 1-2% from 2021.

Recent FCC crackdowns on non-US providers will bring more relief in 2023 to Americans who are tired of spoofing! 🙏🏻 📉

[Robokiller @robokiller]

🎵On the 11th day of Christmas, the @FCC gave us…

… an 80% reduction in student loan robocalls from Nov’22 to Dec’22 following efforts to shut down suspected bad actors responsible for these scams.

Great to see justice served on behalf of US consumers who have been plagued (& for many financially impacted) by the infamous car warranty robocall scam.

@robokiller estimates that Americans may have lost up to $5 billion to this scam up until this point in 2022.

[FCC @FCC]

The Commission just unanimously voted to propose a nearly $300 million fine, the largest fine ever, against an auto warrant scam robocaller. #FCCLive #OpenMtgFCC #ProtectingConsumers #StopRobocalls

[Giulia Porter @GiuliaPorter]

Amazing momentum from the FCC to protect Americans from dangerous (and costly) #phonescams 👏👏👏

@robokiller estimates similar efforts against the infamous car warranty robocall in July’22 reduced this scam by BILLIONS per month

Can’t wait to see the impact here

[FCC @FCC]

Our Robocall Response Team just announced that our Enforcement Bureau has ordered telecommunications companies to stop carrying robocalls related to known student loan scams. #FCCGov #StopRobocalls #ProtectingConsumers https://t.co/e2yDN6j4Gy

[Giulia Porter @GiuliaPorter]

US consumers didn’t get any deals when it came to spam texts this holiday shopping season.

@robokiller estimates Americans received 47 BILLION unwanted text messages this Nov, shattering Oct’22nd previous record-setting month of 18B.

This year, American consumers are more holiday-phone-spammed than ever.

Holiday-related #robocalls & #robotexts are expected to increase by 6% y/y - reaching est record highs of 5.5 B messages.

Beware of #phonescams that pose as brands you may be buying from - Amazon, UPS/Fedex

[Giulia Porter @GiuliaPorter]

Big day in the fight against illegal robocalls.

Great to see the @FCC taking continued action and leading the way to cut off a carrier putting Americans at risk to #robocalls and #phonescams

[FCC @FCC]

For the first time, a voice service provider is being cut off from other networks for failing to meet the FCC’s requirements for protecting consumers against scam #robocalls and malicious caller ID #spoofing. https://t.co/lDhXyM9lxf

[Robokiller @robokiller]

Tired of bad news? Here's something to smile about. You know those car warranty calls everyone hates? They're vanishing, and we have the @FCC to thank. Check out the details here: https://t.co/aSWs5YyF7I

The sadly unsurprising latest trend from phone scammers - student loan robocall & text scams.

@robokiller estimates Americans have already received 700M+ of these scams & expects losses to reach $5B by end of year. Ugh.

Great article by Emma Whitford!

[Giulia Porter @GiuliaPorter]

Scammers are smart & follow headlines to make their scams more believable - often resulting in hundreds of millions in consumer financial losses.

❌Beware of any unfamiliar calls or texts that ask for financial or personal information in exchange for student loan forgiveness.

[Giulia Porter @GiuliaPorter]

🚨In Oct 2022, @robokiller estimates Americans will receive more than 3.5M robotexts and 30M robocalls relating to student loan scams.

We expect this to increase by ⬆️10% in November as national interest in student loan relief increases.

@AOC I work for a large, US-based call/text blocker app that’s been monitoring political messaging. We have 2,000+ records of spam complaints from our customers of political fundraising texts sent on 1/6 when Capitol was stormed from Cruz, Hawley, Gaetz & more.

[Giulia Porter @GiuliaPorter]

@davidaxelrod @RoboKiller has identified the Trump campaign has sent 450 million of these and similar text messages this week. Many of these donation sites have questionable terms such as automatic recurring donations like this one here: https://t.co/JVfbNpcmRz
