It would be the FCC’s largest fine ever.
The Federal Communications Commission is proposing a $299,997,000 fine against a massive auto warranty scam robocall campaign,. The fine, which would be the FCC’s largest ever, targets a huge operation; in just three months in 2021, it made more than 5 billion calls to more than a half-billion phone numbers using just over 1 million caller ID numbers. As the FCC put it, that’s “enough calls to have called each person in the United States 15 times during just those three months.
According to the FCC, the operation is run by Roy Cox Jr. and Michael Aaron Jones via “their Sumco Panama company, other domestic and foreign entities, and a host of international cohorts located in Panama and Hungary .” If those names sound somewhat familiar, that’s because the FCC already had the operation on its radar and asked carriers not to carry calls from it
