Cracking down on robocalls: FCC takes action against company for violating new rules

WASHINGTON (WJLA) — The Federal Communications Commission announced it is taking action against a company it accuses of violating new rules to combat illegal robocalls.

Many of these calls are coming from overseas. The FCC said that’s the case with One Eye, LLC, accused of facilitating illegal robocalls being used to target people in the U.S.

The FCC said it’s now issuing its first-ever “Initial Determination Order,” which could lead to the company being prohibited from connecting with other providers. The company will be allowed to respond to the FCC and show they’re actively combatting illegal robocalls.

The FCC reports the company changed hands after the previous owner got in trouble for a similar problem.
