I remember those calls, good on the FCC for hammering this guy.

Now I need the ones saying I've qualified for a $250k business loan to stop. Had them a few times daily for a couple weeks. Easy enough to get rid of them though, just ask what company they work for and they hang up. Same thing happened with the guy in the article, they ask for personal info so I just asked for company info... "Sir, what is your address?", "If you want my address I need to know more about your company. Who do you work for? What is the company name? and where are you located?", *click*

What I find impressive, is that the suit is basically against one person. To have a personal $120 million fine, would be quite an achievement...

Does this guy have 120 million?

If I got fined this much, I'd just skip the country and go live somewhere else that would let me continue my spoofing scam.

It should be jail time

All this does is push scam operations off shore. CRA scams seems to have Indian accents, so unless these kind of communicate act is implemented and enforced by UN, these calls won't stop.

Especially these scam is estimated to be a $9-$10B industry.
