The FCC is worse than worthless on this stuff, in my experience.
I get these calls all the time.
Contact the FCC web site.”
I get a lot of these calls on both my cell and our business line. They are robo calls and the location of the number can be checked out on the internet.
Contacting the FCC is worthless. They have too many complaints and by the time they get around to checking on the number, it has been cancelled and the caller has a new number. Best approach is not to answer any call if you don’t recognize the number. The Do Not Call list is a farce.

My wife got the same call yesterday. It had my name on the caller ID. She hung up after she figured out it was a telemarketer Sadly, with modern equipment, anyone with a few dollars can spoof caller ID’s with any name or number they wish.I used to report these types of criminals to the FCC, but I don’t believe anything ever happened.One kept calling me for over a year after I reported them. I even called my state attorney generals office and filed a complaint. The lady there was very nice and sounded interested. She asked questions and took my information, but the calls continued several times a week for months afterwards. I had spent hours doing research on these scum and even gave them the name of the company and individual responsible. They were in Arizona, not Kentucky. The truth is the government doesn’t care much about these small operations. The people are hard to catch, change locations and tactic often and don’t yield any money for the government after they are caught. Now, if you have a good case against AT&T or Sprint, the FCC would love to hear from you. They are easy to find and have tons of money to harvest as fines or settlements.
