Subject: Request for FCC Investigation – Potential Unlawful Call Activity and Government Impersonation Involving NCIC

Date: December 15, 2025

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to formally request that the Federal Communications Commission review and investigate a pattern of telephone call activity that raises serious concerns regarding potential violations of federal telecommunications law by NCIC (and/or entities operating systems associated with NCIC), including possible impersonation of state and federal officials.

This request is made in good faith and is based on documented call logs reflecting repeated inbound and outbound call attempts involving my telephone number (512-450-1533) over a defined period. I am not asserting conclusions; rather, I am asking the FCC to exercise its oversight authority to determine whether the conduct described below complies with applicable federal statutes and FCC regulations.

Summary of Concern

Over several weeks, my call logs show:

  • Repeated calls from toll-free numbers (including 833 and 866 prefixes), many logged with zero-second duration
  • Calls that appear automated or system-initiated
  • Repeated call attempts clustered during weekday business hours
  • Calls associated with institutional or government-adjacent identifiers, including numbers labeled as Washington, DC
  • A pattern consistent with silent calls, line-verification activity, or automated dialing systems

In addition, during at least one call associated with these numbers, the caller represented themselves as a “special agent” and implied affiliation with a state or federal authority.

Impersonation Concern (Critical)

If accurate, such representations raise serious concerns regarding:

  • Impersonation of federal or state officials
  • Misrepresentation of authority in telecommunications
  • Potential violations of FCC rules and related federal statutes governing caller identification, deception, and misuse of communications systems

I respectfully request that the FCC determine whether any party associated with NCIC or its calling systems has represented itself as a government agent without lawful authority, and whether such conduct violates FCC regulations or other federal law.

Numbers of Concern

The following numbers appear repeatedly or in patterns that raise compliance and impersonation concerns and are provided solely for investigative review:

  • (866) 254-6555 – Toll Free (multiple zero-duration calls)
  • (833) 319-1902 – Toll Free (mixed zero-duration and extended calls)
  • (833) 348-1802 – Toll Free
  • (833) 341-0269 – Toll Free
  • (202) 241-0073 – Washington, DC
  • (301) 450-3616 – Silver Spring, MD

Complete call logs with timestamps and durations can be provided upon request.

Basis for FCC Review

Given NCIC’s role as a communications provider within correctional or institutional environments, the following areas merit FCC examination:

  • Compliance with 47 U.S.C. § 227 (TCPA)
  • FCC rules regarding silent calls, abandoned calls, and line-verification practices
  • Proper caller identification and disclosure of purpose
  • Whether any calls involved misrepresentation of governmental authority
  • Whether calls were made with lawful authority, consent, or exemption

Request

I respectfully request that the FCC:

  1. Review the call activity associated with the numbers listed above
  2. Determine whether NCIC or affiliated systems are compliant with federal telecommunications law
  3. Investigate whether any calls involved impersonation of state or federal officials, including claims of being a “special agent”
  4. Advise whether further documentation or a formal sworn complaint is appropriate
  5. Preserve any relevant records within FCC jurisdiction pending review

Closing

Telecommunications providers operating in correctional or quasi-governmental contexts hold unique responsibilities under federal law. Where call activity appears systematic, automated, or involves claims of governmental authority, independent regulatory review is both appropriate and necessary.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Respectfully,

/s/ LeRoy Nellis
