Existing Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission, Federal Bureau of Investigations, and Internal Revenue Service components have jurisdictional authority to regulate parts of the operations of illegal telemarketing automated robo-calling operations but do not act together sufficiently.
Fraudulent telemarketing operations acting contrary to the Do Not Call List requirements, their employees, their landlords, their sub-contractors, and their service vendors should be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act as applicable to the income and profits the related parties enjoy from the criminal activity.
Applying federal RICO statutes on geographically dispersed wire fraud operations will help local agencies hurdle jurisdictional obstacles.
