FCC fines robocaller a record $300M after blocking billions of their scam calls::The FCC ordered a record $300 million forfeiture, but whether and when that money will be paid is, as always, something of an open question.

I wish hacker groups would set their sights on these robocaller companies. They used to call my mom all the goddamn time when she was well into her senior years and didn’t understand that these things were scams. We found out she somehow had NINE car warranties because they just kept calling and banking on her senility.
It was all fun and games for them until I caught one of their calls one day, yelled at the dude profusely, and made them cancel every single one.
The unfortunate fact is that these fines will probably hang around doing nothing before they can actually collect, and by then, the company will have already evolved into something else.
