The U.S. Federal Communications Commission proposed a $5.1 million fine against John Burkman, Jacob Wohl and J.M. Burkman & Associates for alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The parties are accused of making 1,141 unlawful robocalls without consent. The $5.1 million fine is the largest proposed by the FCC and would be the first where the agency was not required to warn the robocallers before violations could be counted toward a penalty.
