This fine is aimed at an international \u200dnetwork of robocallers, part\u2062 of the FCC&#8217;s ongoing efforts to \u200bcombat this pervasive issue.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC made\u200b the announcement on Thursday, revealing that they had uncovered a &#8220;transnational illegal robocalling operation.&#8221; This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-kills-160-palestinian-terrorists-destroys-suspected-suicide-submarine-reports\/\" title=\"Israel Kills 160 Palestinian Terrorists, Destroys Suspected \u2018Suicide Submarine\u2019: Reports\">operation involved<\/a> a vast network\u200c of companies spanning the globe, responsible for over 5 billion robocalls\u2062 to more than 500 million phone numbers in just three months of 2021.

This proactive\u2063 measure resulted\u200d in a staggering 99% reduction in illegal calls from the network.<\/p>\n<p>The network&#8217;s owners, Roy Cox and Aaron Michael Jones, were already under lifetime bans from making telemarketing calls due to previous lawsuits filed by the Federal Trade Commission and the \u200bstate of Texas in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC&#8217;s efforts to combat robocalls have\u200c been ongoing, driven by the surge in these unwanted calls in recent years.
