The FCC¢s Enforcement Bureau and FTC¢s Bureau of
Consumer Protection wrote to three gateway
providers that are facilitating these scam
COVID-19-related robocalls: SIPJoin of Suffolk,
Virginia; Connexum of Orange, California; and
VoIP Terminator/BLMarketing of Lake Mary,
Florida. The companies have been identified by
the Traceback Group, a consortium of phone
companies that help officials track down suspect
calls, managed by the trade association
USTelecom. The Commissions also wrote to
USTelecom to ask its members to begin blocking
calls from these providers if the flood of
robocalls is not cut off within 48 hours.
