Scammers looking to defraud consumers by prompting expensive call back T he Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is alerting consumers to reported waves of “One Ring” or “Wangiri” scam robocalls targeting specific area codes in bursts, often calling multiple times in the middle of the night. These calls are likely trying to prompt consumers to call the number back, often resulting in per minute toll charges similar to a 900 number. Consumers should not call these numbers back. Recent reports indicate these calls are using the “222” country code of the West African nation of Mauritania. News reports have indicated widespread overnight calling in New York State and Arizona. Generally, the One Ring scam takes place when a robocaller calls a number and hangs up after a ring or two. They may call repeatedly, hoping the consumer calls back and runs up a toll that is largely paid to the scammer. Consumer tips • Do not call back numbers you do not recognize, especially those appearing to originate overseas • File a complaint with the FCC if you received these calls: www. fcc.gov/complaints • If you never make international calls, consider talking to your phone company about blocking outbound international calls to prevent accidental toll calls • Check your phone bill for charges you don’t recognize Advances in technology allow massive amounts of calls to be MassFiscal pleased to see union loophole reduced Disappointed it wasn’t eliminated B OSTON – The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance released the following statement in response to regulations by the Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) that go into effect on May 31, 2019. The finalized regulation lowers the union loophole from $15,000 to $1,000. “MassFiscal has been fighting to eliminate the union loophole since 2013. We are pleased to see it reduced but disappointed it wasn’t eliminated altogether,” stated MassFiscal spokesperson Paul D. Craney. “For the first time in a generation, union bosses will not have the loudest voice over everyone else. However, they still benefit by having the only voice when compared to employers,” said Craney.
