Washington, D.C.—Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) today voted for the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act, a bipartisan agreement between the House and Senate to crack down on illegal robocallers. The legislation, which passed by a 417-3 vote, includes a provision Walberg championed to combat one-ring scams, a robocall scheme that tricks consumers into paying huge hidden fees on return phone calls.

"Not only are these calls a source of irritation, but increasingly they are a springboard to scam the most vulnerable. We can all agree these bad actors need to be stopped, and the TRACED Act is a major step to providing relief on people's phones." Congressman Walberg serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Education and Labor Committee as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions.
