Trump will veto this.

“Our agreement will require telephone carriers to verify calls and allow robocalls to be blocked in a consistent and transparent way, all at no extra charge to consumers. The agreement also gives the FCC and law enforcement the ability to quickly go after scammers,”

I actually get several calls a week that comes up with caller ID that says Scam Likely and I never programmed it into my phone.
 
If I get a call from a number I’m not familiar with (currently several a day now that I’m of Medicare age and it’s Open Enrollment time) I just ignore it. If it’s a valid call, they will leave a message. But most of the time the calls are from places (including foreign countries) where I know absolutely no one. So I immediately block the number and go on with my life. But I certainly do appreciate the new legislation......

I average about 5 a week...it's usually a local area code and I finally just started to not answer the call if I didn't recognize the number or if they were not in my contacts...I figure if the call is truly important they'll either call back or leave a message...but the bots got smarter and started leaving recorded messages in my voice mail.

Hopefully, this bill will do what it is designed to do.
 
@ABM....I stand corrected....please don't press charges.


We'd probably enjoy having a beer together...

Which ironically, seems more secure than Trump government calls with Ukraine, at this point...
Actually, Hillary's server was secured by the Secret Service.
