Americans lost an average of $1,400 dollars to scam callers in 2022, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
The Federal Communications Commission issued a record-breaking fine to the tune of nearly $300 million against the largest illegal robocall operation it has investigated to date.
The illegal operation, which was made up of an international network of companies, violated federal statutes by making robocalls to more than 500 million phone numbers in the span of three months in 2021. They also used more than one million different caller ID numbers, violating federal spoofing laws.
So how can you prevent yourself from being the victim of one of these scams? The FCC recommendsnot answering calls from unknown numbers.
