Yesterday [March 26] the FTC (Federal Trade Comission) announced that it had won court orders shutting down four separate robocall "Operations Responsible for Billions of Illegal Robocalls"
Settlements were obtained against
NetDotSolutions
Higher Goals Marketing
Veterans of America
PointBreak Media
The judgements include multimillion dollar penalties and require the various entities to stop all robocalling and some other operations.
The calls you should see less of that these companies provided include
auto warranties, debt-relief services, home security systems, fake charities, and Google search results services
No indication if this includes those medical back brace insurance scam calls that seem to have taken over lately, but here is hoping.
