I don't want to burst everyone's bubble, but don't assume you are going to get the full $300. I went to the actual website and read the fine print. The class action has been awarded $12,500,000. $300 is the maximum amount you can receive. The $12,500,000 will be divided by the number of legitimate claims. 12,500,000/300 is 41,667. So if more than 41,667 people file a claim, the award amount will be reduced.

Wow! I found three of my cell numbers on the list. Thanks for the heads up. It's not about the money as much as the getting the point across about the robo-call nonsense.

Very annoying though especially when it comes up as a local area code.

Don't answer if you don't recognize the number. I learned sometime ago that scammers have learned to use the area code and the first three digits of your number, whether land line or cell line, to make it appear legitimate. If you don't answer, usually no message is left.

I"ve done claims for class action lawsuits in the past. I never got much, but I'd get $50 or $100 for filling out a 10 minute form and never had any problems afterwards. The lawyers get paid from the lawsuit money not individuals in this case. I dont' mind them making money if I get some for doing very little.
