The Federal Communications Commission recently proposed its largest ever robocall fine against John M. Burkman, Jacob Alexander Wohl, and J.M. Burkman & Associates LLC for apparently making more than 1,100 unlawful robocalls to wireless phones without prior express consent, in violation of the TCPA and the TRACED Act. The $5.1 million fine represents the first action where the FCC was not required to warn robocallers before robocall violations could be counted toward a proposed fine, consistent with Congress’s recent amendment of the TCPA.
