Caller Unknown, with Robbie Brown, Spam Call Whistleblower
Every case has a file. Every file has evidence. And every spam call you’ve ever hung up on? Someone actually did something about it.
Did you know robocalls are illegal under federal law?
That spam call you hung up on this morning — the one that spoofed a local number, or didn’t identify itself, or called your cell without permission — wasn’t just annoying. It was almost certainly against the law.
I’m Robbie Brown — Spam Call Whistleblower. I document the spam calls, robocalls, and illegal telemarketing schemes that hit my phone (and probably yours), and I file formal claims against the companies behind them. This is where I show my work.
What you'll find here:
The Evidence — call logs, recordings, and screenshots from real spam calls I’ve received. This is what came in, and what it points to.
The Trail — where the evidence leads. Which company, which pattern, which repeat offender. I’ll tell you what I found and what I think it means — but you decide.
What We Know vs. What We Think — I’ll always separate documented fact from my own read on it. I’m not here to accuse anyone of anything — I’m here to show you the paper trail and let you draw your own conclusions.
The Split — when a company is held accountable for their wrongdoing, a portion of the proceeds goes to charity. You help pick where it goes. Catch a Medicare scammer targeting seniors? We might send a portion to Meals on Wheels. The charity fits the crime.
Think you've gotten a call from the same company? Sound off in the comments — has this happened to you too?
Why "Whistleblower"?
Because that’s exactly what this is. I’m not hunting anyone down — these calls came to me, uninvited, in violation of federal law. I’m just the one willing to document it publicly, file the paperwork, and show my work so you can do the same if it happens to you.
And let’s clear something up: I’m not a serial litigator. I’m a serial victim — as in, this keeps happening, episode after episode, one masked case file at a time. Think of this less like a courtroom and more like your favorite true-crime podcast, if the crime was a robocall and the detective’s wearing a mask instead of a badge. Same obsessive digging. Same “wait, it’s the same guy again?” energy. Different kind of case.
A note on the mask:
Yes, I wear one. No, it’s not because I have anything to hide — my name is a matter of public record on every claim I file. I’m an actress and performer in real life, and I love a good costume — so when it came time to build this persona, the mask was non-negotiable. This country is divided on a lot right now, but if there’s one thing nearly everyone can get behind, it’s being sick of scammers. And let’s be honest — if the product they were selling was actually that good, they wouldn’t have to break federal law to sell it.
Turns out those acting skills come in handy for more than the stage — these companies go to great lengths to hide who they really are, so sometimes it takes a little performance on my end just to get them to reveal it. Call it method acting, for discovery purposes.
(I'd like to thank my ex-husband for my detective skills.)
This is educational, independent, consumer journalism. Every claim here is either publicly filed, independently documented, or clearly labeled as my own opinion. If you’ve received a spam call and don’t know what to do about it, that’s exactly why this exists.
Got a case of your own? Evidence welcome. Confessions optional.
