FCC Targets Alleged Repeat Robocaller

The FCC Enforcement Bureau sent a cease and desist order to alleged robocaller One Eye Wednesday, saying the company was the successor to PZ/Illum, which the agency had already targeted. One Eye’s owner, Prince Anand, “explained that he shut down PZ/Illum” because of a letter from the FCC, but "he then launched One Eye LLC to originate calls, leaving his name off the paperwork while remaining the only owner,” said an FCC news release. “Illegal robocallers cannot hide,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel: “So we’re cutting them off at the source. We have an all hands-on-deck approach to combatting this problem with teams across the agency and partnerships in states across the country.” The bureau also issued a notice warning all U.S.-based voice service providers “about substantial amounts of apparently unlawful robocalls transmitted by One Eye.” The company didn’t comment.
