It finally happened!! No more calls about your car’s extended warranty…

They got them…

The Federal Communications Commission issued a $300 million fine – it’s largest ever – against a robocall operation offering extended vehicle warranties.

The FCC earlier had devised a plan with cell phone companies to block five billion of the unwanted calls, according to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. It helped decrease the number of auto warranty calls by 99%.

“At one point, it seemed like these calls were everywhere. They were more than just a nuisance. That’s because this scheme flooding our lines marketing fake car warranties was part of a scam to gain access to our personal and financial information,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a prepared statement.

She said the fine, announced in early August, was the commission’s largest.
