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.

Tap here to see if you are eligible for the settlement.

Claims must be received by November 3, 2017.
