The lawmaker said more than 40 percent of cellphone calls are robocalls where a person takes a local number to scam someone on anything from credit cards to auto insurance payments and the IRS.
"The FCC can fine $10,000 per call going back three years because it takes some time to investigate where the calls are coming from," Kustoff said.
