https://thehill.com/policy/technolo...sh-bipartisan-bill-to-crack-down-on-robocalls
Two senators are pushing a new bipartisan bill to crack down on illegal robocall scams, raising the maximum civil fine for violators to $10,000 per call.
Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.), the current chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, and Ed Markey (D-Mass.) on Friday unveiled their Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act.
=======================================
I'll believe it when I see it.
A Verizon tech suggested I sign up for a new service that blocks many (but not all) robocalls: NoMoRobo (see https://www.nomorobo.com/). It's not perfect but you can't beat FREE for landline phones. Your phone rings just once when it blocks a call. However, it has also blocked calls from my county communications agency & eBay customer service. Besides this service, Verizon (now FiOS) lets you block up to 500 phone numbers if you can figure out how to maneuver their web site.
