AG joins forces with FCC to combat scammers
HONOLULU — The state Department of the Attorney General is partnering with the Federal Communications Commission to share resources to investigate spoofing and robocall scams.
“Robocalls are not only annoying and intrusive — they are a tool for scammers to commit serious financial harm,” said First Deputy Attorney General Matt Dvonch, who is serving as acting attorney general while Attorney General Lopez is out of state. “We welcome this new partnership with the FCC to better expand our reach and pool our resources in the fight against robocalls.”
FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel said state leaders and the FCC share a “common enemy” in scammers who target businesses and consumers.
