A recent series of
blog posts from Enterprise Wireless Alliance President Mark Crosby is
intended to promote greater awareness about the predatory solicitations
that members and their customers may receive from Federal Licensing,
Inc., and its affiliated entity Federal License Management. The
solicitations are designed to engender fear and create an illusion that
the Federal Government is seeking an immediate response along with fee
payments. Federal Licensing and Federal License Management warn of
potential fines and license revocations which are pure fantasy, but
unfortunately, not recognized as such from many unsuspecting
recipients. Advise your customers that such solicitations are entirely
bogus, responses are unnecessary, and that these solicitations should
be read for amusement purposes only!
Each installment of the series addresses one ruse and provides clues on
how to alert your customers that the solicitations are not being issued
by the Federal Communications Commission. The blog posts provide
critical insights, and EWA members are encouraged to download and
distribute Crosby’s warnings to their customers for awareness and
educational purposes. Highlights include:
- “
For those who
weren’t suspicious before should be by now as there is no longer
an FCC Field Operations Bureau, and the FCC rules in their
entirety are available by simply accessing the FCC’s web
site," Crosby's Blog, April 5
- “
Be forewarned and
suspicious of relying on organizations for your licensing needs
that use fear tactics and threats of FCC fines based on an
antiquated, 25-year old FCC bulletin,” Crosby's Blog,
April 28.
- “
We issued
warnings about materials sent to licensees from a supposed
Modification Division, a Renewal/Modification Division, and a
Publication Division, none of which, of course, have anything to
do with the FCC, and in fact were created by Federal Licensing to
resemble official government communications,” Crosby's
Blog, May 24
