They need prison sentences. With these types, warnings don't work.

Clearly the intent with this was malicious from the start, so a "you'd better put a stop to this!" warning seems totally the wrong course of action here.

This Office immediately launched an investigation into these calls in coordination with state and federal partners, including the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, which is a bipartisan task force made up of 50 state attorneys general, and the Federal Communications Commission Enforcement Bureau. Through these collective efforts, the source of these calls has been identified as Texas-based Life Corporation and an individual named Walter Monk.
