Nerds vs. Robocallers: Go Nerds!

https://consumersunion.org/campaign-updates/consumers-union-in-dallas-to-endrobocalls/



Some of the best and brightest technological minds gathered in Dallas last week to work on long-term solutions to robocalls, and Consumers Union took your voices inside to remind these engineers just how many Americans need their help.

We circled the Internet Engineering Task Force meeting with a mobile billboard featuring notorious robocaller ‘Rachel from Cardholder Services’ and reminded attendees that 200,000-plus consumers want the phone companies to offer real solutions to block these calls.

Consumers Union was well-received by the attendees, who were eager to discuss the issues involved and pleased to learn about the importance of their technical work to end robocalls to consumers.
