The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today ordered voice
service providers to block the global gateway provider One Eye. The
FCC says the company, which serves as an “on-ramp” to US phone
networks from outside the country, enabled robocall scams like
impersonating a major financial institution and calls about bogus “preauthorized orders” placed in consumers’ names. The Biden administration’s FCC has focused on increasing its ability to enforce robocalls. “This company — what’s left of it — will now have a place
in robocall history,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. “We can
and will continue to shut off providers that help scammers.”
