Bank Shells Out $4.1 Million After Bombarding Folks With Robocalls – Can You Believe It? 🤔

Dollar bills flying in the air

Well, I do declare, one of them big ol’ banks over yonder in the United States is fixin’ to shower folks with a heap of cash—$4.1 million, to be exact—just for takin’ a noose of unwanted phone hollers. Ain’t that a fine how-do-ye-do? 😄

A judge from North Carolina, bless his heart, done gave his blessing to this big settlement between Truist Bank and a bunch of folks who swear they got called to death, or at least to misery, by robocalls. Reports tell us it’s about folks complainin’ they’re sick of those pesky calls clutterin’ up their telephones, just like flies at a picnic. 🍉

There’s a bunch of nearly 6,000 people—5,998 to be precise—who got themselves involved in this kerfuffle, with a man named Kevin Truong from Texas taking the lead. Seems Kevin got hit with at least 35 calls from Truist between September and Christmas of 2021. That’s more calls than a telegraph operator during a thunderstorm! 🌩️

And the worst part—Kevin wasn’t even their customer, nor did he say, “Yes, please, call me forever and a day,” but they did it anyway. Talk about manners gone missing! “These calls injured Plaintiff by invading his privacy, interfering with his cellular telephone, and wasting his time,” they say. Well, I’d say that beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. 😅

The lawsuit claims Truist’s robocalls broke every law that was ever written about calling folks without their say-so—like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. This act’s got enough rules to make a preacher say “Amen,” forbidding them robotic toads from bothering you on your own dime without your permission. 🚫📞

Now, Truist—shifty as a fox—denies any wrongdoin’, but they’d rather settle than face a long, costly trial where someone might get a big ol’ judgmental smack. Each of these unlucky souls might get around $440. Guess that’s enough to buy a fancy hat or a couple of steaks! 🍖

By the time the end of 2024 rolls ‘round, Truist’s got a pile of assets over half a trillion dollars—yes, you read that right—over $523 billion! That’s enough zeroes to make your head spin faster than a squirrel on a sugar high. 🐿️
