(Harrisburg, PA) Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday and forty-eight other attorney generals recently called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to strengthen rules that would cut off scammers’ access to legitimate telephone numbers. 

Scammers often use real phone numbers in efforts to appear legitimate when targeting people for robocalls which is called “spoofing.”   

Americans received nearly 30 billion scam robocalls and text messages last year.
