FCC slaps $300M fine on “largest illegal robocall operation” it’s ever seen - Lemmy.world

How many of you have received these calls? I got a ton of them along with my husband and siblings.
Those were partly the reason I stopped answering unknown numbers.

On my iPhone, I have it set to silence all unknown calls. I still get a notification a call was silenced and they can leave a voicemail if they want to.

It really sucks like earlier this week when I was expecting a call from a lawyer and missed it because I didn’t have their number already in my contacts. Or when job hunting or whatever.

But it’s been really nice not to get dumbass calls that are strictly spam.

Job hunting is the worst. I have to answer every single call for a while knowing full well it’s probably a telemarketer but not having any other choice.
