Overview

• Under Operation Robocall Roundup, 51 state attorneys general issued warning letters on August 7 to 37 voice and VoIP providers for failing to register in the FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database or respond to federal compliance requests.
• The coalition is backing the FCC’s proposed One-to-One Consent Rule, which would require telemarketers to obtain explicit consumer permission before placing calls or selling contact data.
• Private analyses and FTC complaint logs consistently place Arizona among the highest per-capita targets for robocalls, though varying methodologies also rank Delaware, Ohio and other states near the top.
• The FTC reported more than $1.2 billion in losses from robocall and text scams nationwide in 2023, and a 2024 study found Arizonans lost $145 million to related fraud.
• Regulators are shifting enforcement from individual scammers to intermediaries—such as voice providers and consent farms—to more effectively disrupt large-scale robocall operations.
