RoboCallNoMore

Build the RoboCallNoMore off the already popular DoNotCallRegistry based out of the FTC's office. The DNC system has proven effective and accepted by millions of Americans. Use the same system in reverse. Have a centralized database that will log and record user submissions on the robocalls. Users will go onto the website and report the number. There is already similar websites but nothing that I have have seen that is regulated by a governmental entity. After the number has been reported to the website so many times (20 times) it will alert your office that a formal investigation needs to begin. You could also make this system automated over the phone either by a number citizens call into to make the report offline that would merge into the online database. And finally since many companies are FTC compliant you could set into legal action a law that will require autodialers to play a recorded prompt before the actual message is given, along the same lines as notification that the call is being recorded that is currently required by call centers. Whenever the prompt is played the options could be 1 to hear the message or 7 to remove your number from their list and create an auotmated notification to the FTC and be added to the RoboCallNoMore list all merging into the centralized database for FTC intervention whenever the phone number reached a certain threshold. The notification to the FTC from the robot caller can be in the form of an email since the majority of phone systems are digital now, especially if they are autodialers, they can be designed to do anything you program them to do. If email is not possible you could set it so when a person would hit the 7 to say it was a robocaller it would forward the call to the FTC and be added in the same way as if the consumer called the FTC directly, all without having to hang up and dialing the FTC's RoboCallNoMore phone number.
