Frequently Asked TCPA Questions

Disclaimer: I am not an attorney nor am I providing legal advice. Just speaking from experience & statements herein are made based on my opinion. This litigation is a legal way to send a very expensive message to these VoIP Providers, i.e Onvoy, Peerless & Bandwidth, Mutual of Omaha and others.

Be very leary of these Final Expense, Solar, Medicare Calls that you recieve.

These telemarketers and or lead generators have access to public data information and attempt to manipulate the conversation to think that"you" provided this information. My seniors -- be leary please. These people have the gift of gab - thats why they get hired.

If you ever worked for a VoIP service provider - reach out to me.

Submit your contact information of the submission form please.

Is a text message considered a call under the TCPA?

Under the TCPA, a text message is a call. Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez, 136 S.Ct. 663 (2016).

Damages allowed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act when violations occur.

47 U.S.C. 227(c)(3)(F) allows statutory damages at $500.00 per call. 47 U.S.C. 227(c)(5) allows for every willful and/or knowing violation to be trebled up to an amount of $1,500.00 in damages for each knowing and or will violation of 47 U.S.C. 227(c)(3)(F). In a mathamatical sense - if you get 20 robo calls while being on the Do Not Call List that is $10,000.00 dollars @ $500 per call - the Court can treble the amount if they find evidence that Defendant(s) acted willfully and or knowingly - thats $30,000.00 dollars if trebled. 20 calls x $1500.00 = $30,000.00 dollars!

If you receive an unsolicited call or contact from someone offering to help you eliminate your debts, BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS. There's a good chance thery're a scammer.

Spoofed Robo calls, how do these VoIP companies get my number?

Take for instance the 3 VoIP amigo defendants here, Onvoy, Bandwidth and Peerless. The private individual or business phone subscribers who get their number cloned per se, subscribe to a VoIP provider, who in turn has access to the private subscriber's information. They have a calling platform that they use to call consumers locally and spoof the subscriber's number -- that's why people get return call-backs and inquire "I just got a missed call from this number." But it's the spoofer that called them.
