A group of Texans filed a lawsuit Friday accusing O'Rourke, whose running against Republican Ted Cruz for a Texas Senate seat, of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by sending them dozens of text messages without their permission, and with no way to end the deluge.

Sameer Syeed, the plaintiff, filed the lawsuit on "behalf of all Texans," and demands Beto pay out $500 for each unwanted text message sent to someone with a Texas cell phone number.

Wasn't it great having a cell phone before they started letting solicitors use it for advertisement and harassment?

What idiot decided it was a good idea to let solicitors use cell phones for their pain inthe azz calls.
Who got money put in their pockets for that sheit.

This is why I have special tones for my contacts and don't answer numbers unknown to me. I let calls go to visual VM.

I once got a solicitation call that used my own phone number.

Once, out of how many others though? Spoofing local numbers is a special kind of devious, in my opinion. I've seen that happen on my mother's phone. I just tap ignore and wait for a message. Annoying? Yes, but better than wasting the time to answer.

Hint: "violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act"....look it up.
