Aaron Foss, Founder of Nomorobo, Discusses the Robocall Epidemic and How to Crack Down on Unwanted Automated Calls

NEW YORK, April 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Those pesky robocalls — at best annoying disturbances and at worst costly financial scams — are getting worse. Recently, Aaron Foss, Founder of Nomorobo, teamed with YourUpdateTV to discuss the robocall epidemic and steps we can take to stop unwanted automated calls.

In an age when cellphones have become extensions of our bodies, robocallers now follow people wherever they go, disrupting business meetings, church services and bedtime stories with their children. Though automated calls have long plagued consumers, the volume has skyrocketed in recent years, with over 5 billion made last month alone.

While federal lawmakers and law enforcement authorities have adopted measures to curb the tide, robocalls have proven to be a difficult problem to solve.

Nomorobo, as in “no more robo-calls,” is a monthly subscription service that blocks automated scam or telemarketing phone calls. Winner of the FTC Robocall Challenge, Nomorobo is proving to be a tremendous resource in eliminating robocalls, blocking over a billion calls as of today.
