King 5 Report on Client Who Receives Robocalls and Junk Faxes

King 5 recently ran a story about Dick Baron, one of their clients, who has been concerned about junk faxes, robocalls and, more recently, junk texts. Mr. Baron has served as a class representative because of his strong support of efforts to force telemarketers to obey the laws and stop the harassment and invasion of privacy involved with their constant marketing efforts. Under both federal and state law, blasters of faxes, texts and robocalls are liable for $500.00 for each illegal communication. Sometimes the marketing is permitted if the recipient has an established business relationship with the sender, but many businesses ignore the law and make the calls or send the faxes or texts because they are such an inexpensive way to sell their produces and make money.
