Statewide, Iowa — Iowa’s Attorney General is joining others in nationwide Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force. Attorney General spokesman, Linn Hicks, says it allows them to combine their efforts into one.
Hicks says they are trying to get to the source of the calls.
He says it’s their job to make sure that those calls are not illegal and he says they don’t believe that attorneys general are not doing enough to stop the robo traffic.
The calls can be annoying, but they also target people with scams, and Hicks says the task force is concerned about preventing that from happening.
It’s estimated there are some 33 million robo calls nationwide. And those callers scam millions from Americans every year.
