columbusWhy the U.S. Should Sanction India Over Scam Call Centers
kennedya lot of firms outsource customer service to India because its cheaper for them to operate. The same giant firms that spend billions lobbying politicians to make laws that work only for them so they can keep making money. Noble effort but this will literally never happen.
You can hire your prison population for those jobs.
prison population is already being used as slave labor for the state and federal government, they’re not gonna give that up for free if they’re not benefiting somehow. That would involved the US government actually caring about its citizen and them not being victims (see the current state of crypto scam and its criminal prosecution). I also doubt any company would pay so that they can use prisoners since it would involve them spending even more.
Telecoms are complicit.
They can stop spoofing over night by implementing STIR/SHAKEN and PASSporT.
A_norny_mousseIDK what these acronyms are but I know you’re right!
Just make it the responsibility of the companies providing the service to stop it.
Pass a law stating that if you’ve added your phone number to the do-not-call list, and you receive a call you did not want, your carrier has to pay you $50. For each call.
Give them time, say five years, to correct the flaws in their systems. Allow them to pass the charge for any calls that get through onto the carrier who connected the caller to their network, who would presumably pass the charge on until it got to the customer that made the call.
Heck, even when it’s implemented, throw them a bone. The customer has to show it’s an ongoing issue by identifying more than one call in a week.
I’d be making a few hundred dollars a week from my personal cell phone. Over a thousand a day from my work phone.
Soon, they’d find a way to make it impossible to spoof a number. Companies would probably stop selling burner phones. Phone companies that make money by providing service to scam call centers would quickly cease to exist. New companies would have to prove that they are managing their customers correctly or they’d never be permitted to connect to the other carriers.
