For most people, unwanted phone calls from telemarketers are a common part of life. This problem is far more widespread than most people are aware. As is discussed below, billions of prerecorded calls from telemarketers, also known as robocalls, are made each month. Robocalls are automated calls that deliver a prerecorded message. Robocalls are used for a variety of purposes, many of which are scams. For example, some robocalls personalize the message to appear that a live person is making the call. Signs of a robocall include a pause or clicking noise at the start of the call or a prerecorded message at the start of a call. Unfortunately, many people believe that they are powerless to stop these calls. Luckily for consumers, this isn’t true. If you are a victim of telemarketer harassment, please review the information below and contact a Florida TCPA attorney as soon as possible to discuss your compensation options.
