People offered a free cruise over the phone may be in for some cash.
In a class action lawsuit, Charvat v. Resort Marketing Group, Resort Marketing Group made automated phone calls offering a free cruise.
A class action lawsuit was filed against RMG or "Travel Services" on the phone and now they could pay up to $12.5 million to eligible members.
Kopek added the most of the robocalls people get are against the law, with a few exceptions like political, emergency, school and charity calls.
Each call you received can net you a maximum of $300, and you can claim up to three calls per telephone number for a total of $900. The lawsuit claims that these calls violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which places restrictions on telemarketers.
