5,187,677,000calls the FCC says one robocall operation placed in three months of 2021

The FCC found one auto warranty robocall operation apparently placed approximately 5,187,677,000 calls in three months of 2021, using 1,051,461 unique caller ID numbers.

That is enough to have contacted every person in the United States 15 times in the quarter. The FCC proposed a $299,997,000 penalty, its largest ever; a Notice of Apparent Liability contains only allegations.
