Robocall mitigation efforts

We’re seeing increased robocall mitigation activity from state attorneys general and from the FCC Enforcement Bureau against providers that carry robocalls. On both fronts, efforts rely on information collected by the Traceback Group.

Despite these efforts, the flood of robocalls continues.
