Have you gotten robocalls on your cell phone?

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which restricts businesses from using automatic dialers to call cellphones unless they have specific permission to do so.
And thus....
Bank of America customers could be due money for robocalls

and Wells Fargo is also being sued.

1. Yep...and it annoys the hell out of me.

Most of them aren't commercial, they're political contribution solicitations. I have, however, been getting them from Sirius satellite radio...and I'm going to file a complaint the very next time it happens.

2. Keep a copy of the call

and after you file your complaint, the authorities might be able to use it as evidence.

3. Thanks for the advice!

4. I've gotten so many that I can't block any more. I have to remove (every day) numbers from my

blocked call list to put in new ones. Drives my nuts. I just haven't answered any call that I don't recognize the number.

5. You might have some money coming.

Depending on how assertive you want to be.
In the past, people would take spammers to small claims court.

You have to make sure your spammer is one that is covered by the law, like a real business, as oppsed to the
unknowns who robocall.
There are people who make a chunk of change by small claims court filings, then they contact the spammer
and suggest a payment to avoid court. Apparently this has been a succesful approach for folks, I was
aware of it esp. in Cal.
