Nebraska residents get numerous robocalls in recent years, that’s about to change with new implemented law

LINCOLN, Nebraska – The Attorney General’s Office in Nebraska receives the most complaints about robocalls and other types of scam callers.

According to Sothan, “many are annoyed by these robocalls, reporting several calls on a daily basis.”

But Sothan is confident that this won’t be a problem for the rest of time. He claims that the TRACED Act, which was passed by the FCC and put into effect this summer, is the reason why phone operators are currently adopting robocall mitigation technologies.

According to Ryan Sothan, of the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, “Americans receive three to five million calls a month, and around 40-50% of those are scam calls.”

The statute stipulates that phone providers employ technology to verify calls and either completely ban them or inform callers by displaying a notice on caller ID such as “Potential Spam.”

Allison O’Neil, chief experience officer for Allo, stated that this is something that the company has previously implemented.

“So look for that caller ID because the caller ID will have the indicators that tell you whether it could be a spam call or not,” O’Neil said. “You know, any call coming through to you that has the name and the telephone number.” “So look for that caller ID because the caller ID will have the indicators that tell you whether it could be a spam call or not.” “We are demonstrating that that is a legitimate call and one that you ought to answer,”

According to O’Neill, the implementation of safeguards of this nature can go a long way toward protecting vulnerable customers.

According to O’Neill, “They might be spending a lot of time you don’t need to be spending, and you can get to the point where they’re spending money they shouldn’t be spending.”

She also stated that clients of Allo do not need to take any steps in order to use these capabilities; nevertheless, the Sothan stated that this does not imply that you cannot do even more to protect yourself.

“Don’t be passive and wait for telephone companies to adopt this technology. There are things that can be done now,” Sothan advised. “There are things that can be done right now.”

To begin, turn on the silent ring feature for any callers that aren’t in your contact list. Second, investigate the call-blocking options that are available through your internet service provider. Installing an app that prevents calls from known scammers on a list is the third step, and it should be done as soon as possible.

Finally, Sothan said, “Don’t answer the phone if you don’t recognize the number; just let it go straight to voicemail.”

The Attorney General’s Office has stated that the execution of the new rule will be most challenging for smaller providers; yet, even these companies are required to begin immediately putting robocall mitigating elements into place. Users can look up their providers in the FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database to find out how well those providers are performing in the execution of the Robocall Mitigation Rule.
