Papa Murphy’s TCPA Settlement Notes

  • Lennartson et al. v. Papa Murphy’s Holdings Inc. et al.
  • Case No. 3:15-cv-05307-RBL
  • Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington at Tacoma

In May 2015, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against Papa Murphy’s alleging the take-and-bake pizza chain sent text message advertisements to consumers without their prior express consent – a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

The TCPA guards against annoying telemarketing calls and unwanted text messages, barring companies from sending text message advertisements without a consumer first opting into the service. Specifically, plaintiff John Lennartson sued Papa Murphy’s for using an autodialer to send him unwanted text messages to his cell phone. Lennartson says he never consented to receive these promotional texts from Papa Murphy’s. The unwanted text messages offered deals for pizza.

Papa Murphy’s denies the allegations and that it violated any law. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Papa Murphy’s TCPA settlement website.

Class members who wish to object to or exclude themselves from the Papa Murphy’s TCPA settlement must do so by August 14, 2018. Class members who wish to participate in the settlement must submit a claim form on or before August 14, 2018.

Telenav Text Spam TCPA Settlement Notes

  • Gergetz v. Telenav Inc.
  • Case No. 5:16-cv-4261-BLF
  • Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

In July 2016, plaintiff Nathan Gergetz filed this class actionn lawsuit against Telenav over allegations the mobile navigation company sent unsolicited text messages to consumers regarding their Scout GPS app.

Reportedly, Telenav sends text messages from “short code” 72711. A short code is akin to a telephone number for text messages.

“In sending these text messages, Defendant took no steps to acquire the oral or written prior express consent from the Plaintiff or from Class Members who received the unsolicited text messages. Defendant made, or had made on its behalf, the same (or substantially the same) text message calls en masse to thousands of cellular telephone numbers throughout the United States.”

Additionally, the Telenav TCPA lawsuit states that the company also sent unauthorized text messages to consumers who “opted-out” or requested not to receive text messages by responding “STOP” to the initial text message from Telenav.

In Gergetz’s case, he states he received more than a dozen unwanted text messages from Telenav’s short code to his cell phone alerting him that someone using the Scout GPS app had arrived somewhere. When Gergetz would receive the text message from Telenav, his cell phone would ring, indicating that a text call was being received. The messages were text messages from 72711 and more than a dozen such text messages were sent stating: “Susan – Hey, I have arrived at 72 Kensington Rd”. These text messages also purportedly included commercial ads to download Telenav’s Scout GPS app.

When Gergetz replied to the text message from Telenav with an opt-out request saying “STOP,” her receive a response back with a confirmation of the opt-out stating: “You are unsubscribed from ScoutLinkAlerts. No more messages will be sent. Help at 888-849-6231.”

However, despite Gergetz’s opt-out request, he still continued to receive additional text messages from Telenav.

Telenav denies the allegations and that it violated any law. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Telenav TCPA settlement website.

Class members who wish to object to or exclude themselves from the Telenav TCPA settlement must do so by August 16, 2018. Class members who wish to participate in the settlement must submit a claim form on or before August 28, 2018.

A&B Insurance and Financial TCPA Settlement Notes

  • Youngman and Allen v. A&B Insurance and Financial Inc.
  • Case No. 6:16-cv-01478-CEM-GJK
  • Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florid

Plaintiffs Jim Youngman and Robert Allen filed this class action lawsuit alleging A&B Insurance and Financial violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by placing multiple telemarketing calls to numbers registered on the National Do Not Call Registry and made prerecorded calls via an automatic telephone dialing system to cell phones.

A person whose number is on the National Do Not Call Registry, and who has received more than one telephone call within any twelve-month period by or on behalf of the same entity in violation of the TCPA, can sue the violator and seek statutory damages. Additionally, the TCPA prohibits persons from making calls using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice to any telephone number assigned to a cellular telephone service, unless the telemarketer has the recipient’s prior express consent.

In Youngman’s case, he states he placed his telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry in June 2003. But around January 2016, he began receiving unwanted telemarketing calls from A&B Financial and Insurance offering health insurance services.

“The caller informed Mr. Youngman at the beginning of each call that he was calling from “Florida Blue”, which is a d/b/a of A&B Insurance and they and informed him that they were calling to offer their goods and services,” the complaint states.

A&B Insurance denies that it did anything wrong. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the A&B Insurance and Financial TCPA settlement website.

“Class members who wish to object to or exclude themselves from the A&B Financial and Insurance TCPA settlement must do so by July 9, 2018. Class members who wish to participate in the settlement must submit a claim form on or before July 9, 2018.” – capitalist review
