51 attorneys general working to combat robocalls, sent letter to FCC
Attorney General Doug Peterson says robocalls are a major concern to Nebraskans.
LINCOLN, Neb(KLKN)- Attorney General Doug Peterson and a bipartisan group of 51 attorneys general are urging the Federal Communications Commission to put in place measures that will help stem the tide of foreign-based illegal robocalls that attempt to scam Americans.
Peterson says robocalls are a major concern to Nebraskans. “Our office is committed to using every tool at its disposal, working closely with all available partners, to combat unlawful robocalls and spoofing.”
The attorneys general are calling for the FCC to require gateway providers, the companies that allow foreign calls into the United States, to take steps to reduce how easily robocalls have been able to enter the U.S. telephone network, including implementing a caller ID authentication technology that helps prevent spoofed calls.
