Collateral Damage PhoneBurner and FCCOn Jan. 24, the FCC issued a robocall enforcement notice to all U.S.-based voice service providers urging them to suspend the traffic originating from Phone Burner. The Public Notice cited substantial amounts of apparently unlawful telephone solicitation calls to phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry from PhoneBurner Inc. and (their client) MV Realty PBC, LLC. The investigation was initiated by the Traceback Consortium (a group that accepts and researches spam complaints). In total, the investigation discovered more than 11 million calls made to DNC-registered numbers by PhoneBurner and MV Reality. All right, but placing calls on the DNC list is not an offense in itself unless the calls were made without consent. However, the FCC’s own investigation points out that although people were explicitly asking not to be called again, MV Reality failed to remove these entries from the calling list. Yikes!
