They must have deleted my number when I told them to fuck off and to never call me again. Now waiting for the free resort stay class action lawsuit that I've been getting called about.

Edit: put in my girlfriends number and it was listed. Looks like we might get some money out of this.

 

[besada]

Normally I'd be irritated that someone bumped an old thread, but since I hadn't seen this and my number was on it, It's all good.

 

[The Faceless Master]

can't wait until they get to the "we're calling to lower your credit card interest rate" class action lawsuit.

 

[Sadsic]

apparently my company has a number on this - we have like 300 phone numbers so maybe we'll make bank

 

[BoboBrazil]

Oh man this would be good. Have a ton of blocked numbers so I don't get 20 of these a day ringing my phone. These class action lawsuits are usually disappointing though. There are usually so many claimants everyone ends up getting like $3

 

[farisr]

Guessing this is a US only thing, none of my family's numbers are on it.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Oh my fucking god I Qualify!

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Oh yeah baby, I made the list!

Show me that paper.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I know I received a number of calls like these, but they were before the time range of the lawsuit and my number isn't on there.

Sad day.

 

[The Llama]

I remember getting 2 or 3 calls on this and checked and my number was there. Figure I'll get closer to $50 than $900 but I'm glad to see someone go after these annoying robocallers.

 

[kirby_fox]

Must have been multiple free cruise calls because I used to get this call all the time and my number wasn't on there.

Nuts.

 

[otapnam]

Thanks for the bump. Included!

 

[kamakazi5]

I used to get calls all the time and my wife even thought they were legitimate. We were both on there so that's cool.

Get dat money, mod!

 

[Mortemis]

I still get these kinda calls, but they are from actual people talking to me so I guess that's legal?

Anyways I'm not on this list but it looks like my mom's old house number is. I doubt she'll do anything but I'll tell her about it.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Holy Shit my house # and my cell #

Ridiculous!

Getting paid, I do remember those calls of cruise back in the day, had sound effects iirc

 

[Smokey_Run]

I remember getting these calls all the time during college which was during this time period. No luck though.

 

[Poltergust]

I tried the numbers of all of my close family. Only my mom's, brother-in-law's, and one of my aunt's work.

I got permission from my mom to handle the claim with her number, and I will inform the others about their free $300+ tomorrow.

 

[closer013]

My number was listed. With some reluctance I signed up. I'll update if anything happens.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Aaaand my number was on it. Got at least ten calls from these fuckers so hoping for big bucks, though knowing how most class-action suits turn out that $900 will become $100 or less by the end of it.

 

[Quazar]

Nice, girlfriends number was on it. Thanks! Can't wait for random check in the mail.

 

[JettDash]

My number is on this. Thanks, OP.

 

[spawnsniper]

I'm in.. not my cell number though

 

[Drain You]

I'm in. Wonder how long till we actually see some cash. Last couple class action settlements I was a part of took like a year or so if I'm remembering correctly.

 

[JettDash]

The final hearing is scheduled for April 2018 so sometime after that.

I probably won't even remember. It will be great being surprised with a check in the mail.

 

[Uhyve]

How long before someone gets the list of numbers and robocalls all of them for a percentage of their claim, maybe the claimants could even get a free cruise!

thanks a thousand. I didn't qualify, but my parents, uncle, aunt, and grandparents all qualified. Only thing that stinks is that it could take a long time for get payment (and it could be reduced on appeal).

Yeah, this stuff takes a while usually. Got one for the DRAM class action thing a while back, got the check maybe a year or 2 after the actual settlement (think I only got $30 in the end).

Ha if you think they are all getting 300 dollars. So many people have opted in well be lucky to get 10.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

Yooooo thanks for the bump my number is in this.

 

[Spartancarver]

Sweet, included

 

[Schucky Ducky]

My old home phone number from back then was included! We used to get those phone calls all the time. Hope they accept my claim. Free money is always nice

 

[garath]

The bump was awesome. My number was on there. My wife's was not. They must have "lost" a large portion of the list.

I suspect they were caught and purged some to reduce their exposure.

 

[Animekatt]

I wasn't included, but my brother and step-mother were. I'll let them know when they wake up.

 

[New002]

My wife and mine's cell numbers weren't there, thought I'm sure we've received these calls, but her parent's home phone was so letting them know.

 

[Treo360]

Drats, not listed, I thought I received these calls. I know for a fact I received the stupid hotel offers robot calls spoofed with my area code and first three.

Maybe there are multiple companies that do this and this only covers one?

Not only is my number on that list but my mom got suckered in by these assholes back when they were doing the calls.

Estellex, thanks for that bump.

 

[suaveric]

My number was listed, am I supposed to go through the claims process three times to max this out? Or does filing once over me up to three times? I didn't see any other option when I was filling out the online form.

 

[RC0101]

I was getting these calls for weeks yet I'm not listed.

 

[Arttemis]

I had those calls. My number was listed. I filled a claim. Fuck those assholes.

 

[gcubed]

Ha if you think they are all getting 300 dollars. So many people have opted in well be lucky to get 10.

Here is your check for $1.37 and it's void if not cashed in 25 minutes

 

[Earthbound64]

Says my landline (and previous landline) numbers are not eligible.
Shenanigans. I received plenty of these calls.

 

[Malleymal]

Mother's cell phone was on it. Filed and waiting for that 74 cent check!

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Please tell me there's a similar suit for UK victims of PPI robocalls.

I swear if ever had anything like this in the UK I'd have finally made it. I get about 7 calls per day from bots with the large selection occurring between 5 and 8 where I just don't answer the phone anymore.

 

[Shadow2222]

Just received an email update on this, and, as expected, they say that there were so many claimants that each one is expected to get "several dollars."

Sweet, free lunch at Taco Bell!

 

[GraveRobberX]

Free money is FREE MONAAAAAYYYYY!

 

[mantis23]

Looks like the settlement was for 12.5 Million dollars. There were "over two million" claims to date.(People can still submit claims through November 3rd)

So at BEST, its going to be $6 per claim. But the lawyers get paid off the top as well as the named indivduals. That will be a few million dollars so realistically its probably going to be something like $4 a claim.

Add $1, get yourself a $5 big box, $5 combo

Win win in my book!
