The FCC proposed a record-breaking fine of just under $300M against an auto warranty scam robocall campaign, the largest robocall operation the FCC says it has ever investigated.
"The agency explained that the operation was run by two individuals, Roy Cox, Jr. and Michael Aaron Jones, who orchestrated a scheme via their company Sumco Panama S.A. and other domestic and foreign entities, including some in Panama and Hungary (Cox/Jones Enterprise), to make more than 5 billion robocalls in a three-month period during 2021. The subject of the pre-recorded calls was auto warranties and they directed consumers to speak to a warranty specialist” about extending or reinstating their car’s warranty."
