Why aren't they being stopped? Why do robocalls continue to bombard our phones?
Well, stopping robocalls is very different from fighting other types of fraud. Scammers exploit weaknesses in the phone system and use all sorts of dirty tricks, like spoofing, to fool you into answering the phone.
The problem is that the phone network is designed to make sure that every call gets connected. Stopping any call, even an illegal robocall, requires the biggest change in thinking since the telephone was invented almost 150 years ago.
Even with all the progress that we've made (we've stopped over 1 billion robocalls!), we're still just as frustrated as you are that this problem isn't going away faster.
And that's why we're making our real-time feed of IRS call-back scammers available for free. We're encouraging all phone companies to use this data to immediately shut down these scammers.
Robocalls continue to plague all of us for one very basic reason-they work. Scammers only need a few victims in order to be wildly profitable. But when fewer calls get through, the economics change and they'll be forced to stop.
