FCC Directive Re: Robocalls

On July 21,2022, the Federal Communications Commision (FCC)..."announced that the Enforcement Bureau has ordered phone companies to stop carrying traffic regarding a known robocall scam marketing auto warranties."  I guess T-Mobile is not in compliance with this order because I continue to get these auto warrant scam calls daily...today I received 19 of them.

 

Has anybody tried to point this out to T-mobile and, if so, what was their response? Gracias.

  • T-Mobile is very proactive about countering SCAM callers. I think what the FCC is trying to go after are the carriers who facilitate the origination of SCAM calls. Not carriers like T-Mobile who are their target. .

    Keyword is KNOWN.  There are a set of numbers all carriers have that are known to send spam/scam calls. The list grows, and spoofing happens.  IF they did what you expect if your number was spoofed then you get blocked when calling then what will you do? 

  • seeing as how the scammers usually spoof numbers its kind of hard to tell if its legit or not.. anywho..did you call TMO and ask them yourself?
