A man has been fined a record-breaking $120m for making more than 90 million automated marketing telephone calls in the US.

美国一名男子因打出了超过9000万通自动拨打的营销电话，而创纪录地被罚款1.2亿美元。

Miami salesman Adrian Abramovich was accused of trying to sell holidays and timeshare properties with the robocalls.

这位来自迈阿密、名叫阿德里安·阿布拉莫维奇的推销员，被指控使用骚扰电话来销售一些度假类和分时度假类的产品。

The fine is the largest the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ever issued.

这是美国联邦通信委员会有史以来发布的最大的一笔罚款。

Mr Abramovich said he had not intended to "defraud or cause harm".

阿布拉莫维奇表示，他无意欺骗或对客户造成伤害。

But FCC chairman Ajit Pai said in a statement that the defence "isn't very convincing".

但是美国联邦通信委员会的主席潘基特却在一则声明中称，这一抗辩并不具有可信度。

"Mr Abramovich doesn't dispute that he was responsible for placing 96,758,223 robocalls during a three-month period in 2016," he said.

他表示：“阿布拉莫维奇先生对自己应对在2016年的一个季度内拨打的96758223通骚扰电话负有责任这一事实没有异议。”

The FCC said Mr Abramovich had spoofed his caller ID to make people believe they were receiving a call from a local number. That was in violation of US law.
