The FCC has limited investigative power to track the origins of robocalls and often works with the Industry Traceback Group to identify the origins of large robocall campaigns; the group is an anti-robocall task force run by a trade organization funded by the country’s major phone companies. It identified a single company, UrthAccess, as the central origin for a substantial amount of student loan spam.
It wasn’t clear if UrthAccess actually directly created the robocalls or if it simply allowed scammers to use its platform. The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau “is actively investigating these calls for possible further legal action,” the agency said in a statement.for UrthAccess described the company as “a leading provider of state-of-the-art communications technologies,” but offers few details about the company itself and doesn’t name any owners or employees.
The UrthAccess site lists the company’s address as the Newport Office Center, a large office space in Newport Beach, California, that offers space to multiple small businesses. Kristine Tran, the manager at the Newport Office Center, told NBC News that UrthAcess had “never been a tenant at our building.”
And I get calls about my cars warranty everyday..do something about that
Good news. Now do all the rest.
Too bad the FCC didn’t block the White House from saying the same fraud prior to mid terms.
You are blocking the DNC from making cold calls.
Wait can they do that for all robo calls?
It’s about damn time 👏🏼
