They have to ban robo calls, everyone is inundated on home lines and mobil phones anymore. Scams in fla are insidious and relentless along with other robo calls, it never stops.

I have call blocks plus handset blocks right on my phone, we dont answer the phone until we see a caller id we identify.

The Federal Communication Commission announced plans Monday to instruct major phone companies to update their caller ID services to help combat so-called spoofed robocalls.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai will host a summit in July to examine to what degree the industry is implementing new industry-wide standard for caller ID authentication. The new standard is called Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using Tokens (SHAKEN) and Secure Telephony Identity Revisited (STIR).



Spoofed robocalls happen when criminals, scammers and others call a person using phone numbers that look familiar but are actually fake.


“Consumers want and need reliable caller ID information. That’s why we must move aggressively to combat spoofed robocalls,” Pai said in a press statement announcing (https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-357422A1.pdf) the decision. “I’ve repeatedly demanded that major voice service providers implement a strong call authentication framework this year. I want to hear from them on the progress they’ve made toward meeting this goal.”
