This is relevant, given Cheryl's message below about getting a call from her own number...
The House passed the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act yesterday by an almost unanimous vote. It is expected to pass the Senate as well, possibly as early as next week.
According to an article in The Hill:
"The TRACED Act would require phone companies to block robocalls without charging customers any extra money and require most carriers in the U.S. ensure that calls are coming from real numbers. It would give government regulators more time to find scammers and penalize them more aggressively.
It would also require the FCC to deliver reports to Congress about what action they are taking against illegal robocalling operations and oversee a group of companies tasked with investigating where robocalls are coming from in the first place." |
