FCC, Canadian Regulator to Work Together on Fighting Robocalls

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel signed a memorandum of understanding Monday with her counterpart in Canada, Ian Scott, chairperson-CEO Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, on combating robocalls. “Robocall scams are an international problem,” Rosenworcel said: “People all over the world can be victims of these bad faith campaigns to defraud and trick consumers. And we know that many of these calls cross international borders before entering domestic phone networks.”
