Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller has joined a coalition of 42 attorneys general calling on the Federal Communications Commission to take further action to stop the growing proliferation of illegal robocalls and spoofing. The attorneys general are urging the FCC to adopt its proposed rules on enforcement against caller ID spoofing on calls to the United States originating from overseas, while also addressing spoofing in text messaging and alternative voice services. The number of spoofed calls and the consumer financial losses tied to these scams have increased by nearly 50% in recent years. “The exponential growth in unlawful scam robocalls is putting more and more of our vulnerable populations at risk,” the letter reads. “The Commission’s new rules cannot come soon enough.” Of 47.8 billion total estimated robocalls made last year, 37% were scams related to health insurance, student loans, easy money, taxes, travel, business and warranties.
