Robocall company may receive the largest FCC fine ever

A $299,997,000 fine has been proposed by the FCC against a firm. It would be the FCC's largest fine ever, and targets a firm that made over 5 billion calls in three months.

Roy Cox, Jr. and Michael Jones are the operators of the operation. In July of this year, the FCC issued its first ever "K4 Notice" and "N2 Order" instructing all US telephone providers to stop carrying traffic related to the car warranty scam calls. Since June, the volume of such calls has plummeted, according to the FCC.

The FCC proposed the largest fine in its history because it found the calls weregregious. Consumers said the calls were "incessant" and "harassment." The calls were also used to call health care workers. The firm failed to identify the caller at the beginning of a message.

"We've been trying to reach you concerning your car's extended warranty" was the message that would open the call. If possible, avoid the calls in the first place, don't follow the prompt, and never give personal information like banking details.
