Man Accused of Making Millions of Robocalls Faces Biggest-Ever FCC Fine
The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $120 million fine for a Miami resident that was said to be single-handedly responsible for almost 97 million robocalls over the last three months of 2016. Officials say Adrian Abramovich auto-dialed hundreds of millions of phone calls to landlines and cell phones throughout the U.S. and Canada. Even at one point he managed to overwhelm an emergency medical paging service. Making prerecorded telemarketing phone calls without other peoples' consent is prohibited along with making telemarketing calls to emergency landlines and falsifying caller ID to disguise your identity. I believe there should be more consequences for his actions. I myself got a few calls from this telemarketer. He would keep calling back even though I told him I would file harassment if he called again. He should be jailed, fined for $120 million, and give every shred of info as to how he managed to pull that off so it could be prevented from happening again.
