TCPA and Text Blasting

[Andy Hughes]

Are any wholesalers out there using something like propstream to find leads and then using something like REIReply to send out mass text campaigns? If so has anyone had issues with people filing complaints (someone is on the DNC)? Do people just scrub their lists against the DNC? Has anyone used Batchlitigatorscrub.com? I am trying to get some information before I send out my first marketing campaign.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!

Hey guys, just register at telemarketing.donotcall.gov

The first 5 area codes are free. If you're "cold calling" you ARE a telemarketer and subject to TCPA ie: $500 per violation "privacy rights" 227(c) (potentially $1500) DNC and another violation if you use a robodialer 227(b) $500 per violation (potentially $1500).

Not to mention state laws like TX Bus and Commerce 305.053 $500 (potentially $1500).

It takes a lot of cash flow and deals to recover from willfully breaking the law like this (potentially $4500 per call) and websites like batchlitigatorscrub.com are just saying "Hey, here's a list of people that enforce the law" and "we'll help you safely break the law".

I like to think at Bigger Pockets we are better than that right guys? :-)
