US Congress Introduces Legislation to Ban SIM Box Scams

Reps. Jefferson Shreve and Rob Menendez introduced the Stop SIM Box Scams Act, which aims to ban SIM boxes and direct the FCC to block imports and pursue scam syndicates using them.

Why it matters. The bill targets a key tool used in large-scale fraud operations, potentially reducing the prevalence of scam calls and protecting communities from financial losses.
