47 U.S.C. § 227a — Consumer education materials on how to avoid scams that rely upon misleading or inaccurate caller identification information

This section requires the FCC to help consumers recognize and avoid caller-ID-based scams. (1) Development of materials. Within 1 year after March 23, 2018, the FCC, working with the Federal Trade Commission, must create consumer education materials covering two things: ways for people to spot scams and fraud that rely on fake or misleading caller ID information, and any existing technology consumers can use to protect themselves from those scams. (2) What the materials must contain. In building these materials, the FCC must identify any existing technologies that help consumers guard against caller ID scams, including describing how to use those technologies and how to get access to them. It must also include any other information that could help consumers spot and avoid these scams. (3) Updates. The FCC must keep these materials updated regularly. (4) Website. The FCC must post these materials on its website.
