Today’s announcement brings the number of cases the FTC has brought against illegal robocallers and Do Not Call (DNC) violators to 145. Collectively, the defendants in these cases were responsible for making more than a billion illegal robocalls to consumers nationwide. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed two of the new cases on the FTC’s behalf. “Operation Call it Quits” includes four new cases and three new settlements from the FTC alone. In addition, the FTC continues to promote the development of technology-based solutions to block robocalls and combat caller ID spoofing. It also includes new information to help educate consumers about illegal robocalls. The joint crackdown, “Operation Call it Quits,” is part of the Commission’s ongoing effort to help stem the tide of universally loathed pre-recorded telemarketing calls. The Federal Trade Commission and its law enforcement partners today announced a major crackdown on illegal robocalls, including 94 actions targeting operations around the country that are responsible for more than one billion calls pitching a variety of products and services including credit card interest rate reduction services, money-making opportunities, and medical alert systems.
