   Unwanted calls - including illegal and spoofed robocalls - are the   
   FCC's top consumer complaint and our top consumer protection   
   priority. These include complaints from consumers whose numbers are   
   being spoofed or whose calls are being mistakenly blocked or labeled   
   as a possible scam call by a robocall blocking app or service. The FCC   
   is committed to doing what we can to protect you from these unwelcome   
   situations and is cracking down on illegal calls in a variety of ways:   
      
   * Issuing hundreds of millions of dollars in enforcement actions   
     against illegal robocallers.   
      
   * Empowering phone companies to block by default illegal or unwanted   
     calls based on reasonable call analytics before the calls reach   
     consumers.   
      
   * Allowing consumer options on tools to block calls from any number   
     that doesn't appear on a customer's contact list or other "white   
     list."   
      
   * Requiring phone companies to implement caller ID authentication to   
     help reduce illegal spoofing.   
      
   * Making consumer complaint data available to enable better call   
     blocking and labeling solutions.   
      
   Check out the consumer guide on Call Blocking Tools and Resources,   
   which includes information on many of the call blocking and labeling   
   tools currently available to consumers.   
      
   Learn more about FCC Initiatives to Combat Robocalls and Spoofing and   
   download the FCC Report on Robocalls.   
      
   File a complaint with the FCC if you believe you have received an   
   illegal call or text, or if you think you're the victim of a spoofing   
   scam. Click the tabs below for tips, FAQs and resources.
