Resort Marketing Group the company behind the calls for Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line recently settled a class action lawsuit that accused the company of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by illegally contacting individuals via robocalls. ... Eligible claims will receive up to $300 for each marketing call made to their home or cell phone by Resort Marketing Group, but theres a limit: The maximum number of calls a class member can recover is three per phone number, meaning the most any one person could receive is up to $900.

hemma Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I have gotten a Robocall from somebody pushing Google Maps every weekday for 2 solid years. Monday -> Friday for 2 years. Never missed a weekday. When they catch up to these worms, I will hop on the lawsuit with both feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Quint Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I remember the calls. When you picked up the phone, there was about 2 seconds of silence, then a giant foghorn sound and someone saying "Welcome aboard!" They came in repeatedly, week after week. I think I smashed an old cordless phone at some point because of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) I remember the calls. When you picked up the phone, there was about 2 seconds of silence, then a giant foghorn sound and someone saying "Welcome aboard!" They came in repeatedly, week after week. I think I smashed an old cordless phone at some point because of them. LoL. I simply don't answer calls that I don't know... Screen everything. Now, except those IRS calls... I love messing with them. If it is a foreign, male accent, first thing I do is call them ma'am... That gets them primed. Anyway. I hope 99¢ gets you a new phone. Oh... If numbers are varified with database. So that is a finite number. $12.5 million / $300 is 41k numbers.
