Class-Action Suits Target Junk Faxes

The Advocate reports that several local businesses are facing class-action lawsuits accusing them of sending junk faxes.

At issue in the class actions is the decade-old Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a federal law that prohibits advertisers from sending unsolicited faxes unless the sender has prior permission or a pre-existing business relationship with the recipient. It imposes fines of $500 to $1,500 per violation.
