Verizon Sues Money Warehouse

It looks like Pennsylvania-based Money Warehouse, Inc. is in hot water, after Verizon filed a lawsuit against it for sending unsolicited messages using an autodialer to its customers. Verizon alleges that at least 800,000 wireless spam messages promoting mortgage products were sent to Verizon Wireless customers and employees since February 2009. The Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act prohibits the use of an autodialer to call wireless phones. It’s certainly good to see that Verizon Wireless is taking steps to reduce the amount of spam that its subscribers receive via text messages, which can certainly be a pain.
