Spok Helps FCC Take Down Scamming Kingpin
The Washington Post reports the FCC brings the hammer down on a man it says made millions of robo-calls. It all starts with a Springfield, Va.-based company called Spok (@spoktweets) which provides paging services to hospitals, nurses, doctors and first responders. Yes, some people still use pagers — they are robust in an emergency — and legitimate telemarketers are meant to scrub pager numbers from their phone lists. But in 2015, and again last fall, folks at Spok noticed that a rise in robo-calls was swamping their system. Pagers can’t listen to messages, but Spok technicians bridged into the calls, which invited recipients to press 1 to hear more about an “exclusive” vacation deal supposedly offered by TripAdvisor, Marriott, Expedia or Hilton. Spok notified the FCC, which started trying to track down the culprit.
