Rhea and a bipartisan coalition of 49 other attorneys general are pushing the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to strengthen its “Know Your Customer” (KYC) rules to help prevent scammers from using the U.S. communications network to make illegal robocalls. KYC rules require phone companies to know who is making calls through their networks and what kinds of business these customers are conducting. With that information, phone companies can suspend or terminate callers who use their networks to make unlawful calls or decline to do business with customers that aren’t legitimate companies or can’t prove that they conduct lawful business.
