FCC seeks $37.5 million fine on firm that spoofed consumer numbers [engadget.com]:

The FCC is looking to fine an Arizona-based company $37.5 million for making spoofed telemarketing calls. The company, Affordable Enterprises of Arizona, made more than 2.3 million calls over the course of 14 months, often masking its own number with those of consumers in the area. The FCC says this is the first major action taken against a company involved in such a practice. While the commission has issued robocall fines [engadget.com] before, in those cases, the numbers spoofed were often ones not currently in use.
