US man faces â¹775 crore fine over 9.6 crore spam robocalls
A Miami man is facing a record â¹775 crore fine for spamming people with 9.6 crore automated phone calls. He used 'neighbour spoofing' technique, in which people are more likely to answer calls that appear to come from local numbers. The calls attempted to fleece consumers by promising them "too-good-to-be-true" vacation deals and falsely citing companies like TripAdvisor and Expedia.
