This article could use a photograph of a robocall device or a robocall bank of operators (faces fuzzed). This is my very first edit on Wikipedia! Charles Juvon (talk) 19:34, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

More enforcement actions published by TRACED Working Group
This made my radar: Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act 2020 Report to Congress.
It has a lot of information on enforcement actions required by section 5 of the TRACED Act. (I find it odd the TRACED Act does not have a wikipage).

List of Robocall Companies
Should we start a list of companies using robocall?
- Here's a company that claims to make 30,000,000 calls per month: https://www.radiusgs.com/industries/utilities-communications/ Charles Juvon (talk) 21:48, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

The best we could do is a list of convictions for robocalling. We could find reliable sources for that. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:27, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- I think we could use civil proceedings too. For example, from https://www.lemberglaw.com :

The BBB has closed 58 complaints against Radius Global Solutions in the preceding 3 years, with 19 complaints closed in the past 12 months. Since March 2014, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has logged 144 complaints against Radius for various alleged violations of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) including attempting to collect debts not owed; illegal communication tactics; failure to verify debts; false statements or misrepresentation; improper disclosure of information; and threatening to take illegal actions. Justia lists at least 2 cases of civil litigation naming RadiusGS as a defendant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charles Juvon (talk • contribs) 20:39, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
