Last year, more than 26-thousand Do Not Call complaints were filed from Oklahomans with the Federal Trade Commission. Now, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is joining the call for the Federal Communications Commission to take action. He has joined a letter asking the FCC to close a loophole which holds scammers responsible.
The FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database requires registration to operate as a voicer service provider. However, companies which have submitted non-vetted and inaccurate information have been allowed to continue to operate.
“Illegal robocalls aren’t just a nuisance – they are a direct threat to Oklahomans,” Drummond said. “By strengthening these protections, we can shut down these scammers and ensure our communities stay safe from predatory schemes.”
Drummond is a member of the Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force. He is joined by 46 other attorneys general in a letter calling for the FCC to make the changes to the program.
