Cease and Desist Robocalls: FCC EB to 3 Companies

The FCC Enforcement Bureau sent cease-and-desist letters to Duratel, Primo Dialler and PZ/Illum Telecommunication demanding the network providers stop permitting apparent illegal robocalls. Duratel and PZ/Illum were found to have apparently originated "substantial numbers of government imposter scam calls." Primo Dialler was found to have apparently originated robocalls that "threatened utility discontinuation and offered fake credit card rate reductions." This "should serve as a warning sign to other entities that believe the FCC has turned a blind eye to this issue," said acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on Thursday.
