Episode Details

Florida’s Attorney General is launching a bold new fight against spam with a proposed law targeting fraudulent calls and texts. The Florida Anti-Spam Communications Act would make impersonating officials, using AI voices, and spoofing numbers felonies — plus outlaw phone farms used to fuel scams. Telecom providers must verify caller ID and halt illegal campaigns fast. Telemarketers must honor opt-outs within days, not weeks, and selling stolen numbers becomes a civil offense. The AG’s office gains new powers to investigate, sue, and recover damages without waiting for other agencies. A key part? An educational push to help seniors spot scams like fake warrants or AI voices — and report them. Residents are urged to never send money to suspicious calls, especially those claiming court warrants — real courts never text. Report scams now via 866-9NO-SCAM. Florida’s sending a clear message: spam won’t be tolerated.
