Unwanted calls - including illegal and spoofed robocalls - are the
FCC's top consumer complaint and our top consumer protection
priority. These include complaints from consumers whose numbers are
being spoofed or whose calls are being mistakenly blocked or labeled
as a possible scam call by a robocall blocking app or service. The FCC
is committed to doing what we can to protect you from these unwelcome
situations and is cracking down on illegal calls in a variety of ways:

* Issuing hundreds of millions of dollars in enforcement actions
against illegal robocallers.

* Empowering phone companies to block by default illegal or unwanted
calls based on reasonable call analytics before the calls reach
consumers.

* Allowing consumer options on tools to block calls from any number
that doesn't appear on a customer's contact list or other "white
list."

* Requiring phone companies to implement caller ID authentication to
help reduce illegal spoofing.

* Making consumer complaint data available to enable better call
blocking and labeling solutions.

Check out the consumer guide on Call Blocking Tools and Resources,
which includes information on many of the call blocking and labeling
tools currently available to consumers.
