The Federal Communications Commission levied a record fine of $225 million on two Texas-based telemarketing companies for ‘spoofed’ robocalls, the agency said Wednesday.
Rising Eagle and JSquared Telecom were slapped with the fine after placing close to one billion robocalls in 2019 to falsely sell short-term health insurance plans.
“Mr. Spiller admitted to the USTelecom Industry Traceback Group that he made millions of spoofed calls per day and knowingly called consumers on the Do Not Call list as he believed that it was more profitable to target these consumers.”
