FTC Shuts Down 4 Major Robocall Groups
According to the Cord Cutters News, the Federal Trade Commission has shut down 4 major robocall groups.
These groups are responsible for billions of calls which, more than likely, include some of the calls you've received.
The court order that favored the FTC puts an immediate halt those company's operations which, hopefully, will translate into fewer calls with which we'll be bothered!
This victory, the FTC says, is the first step in cracking down on unwanted robocalls.
