Robolawyer startup DoNotPay is launching a new sketch chosen Robo Revenge designed to let you easily sue any US-based visitor that spams you with robocalls, Vice reports. The sketch gathers the robocaller's details as able-bodied as then helps you sue them for as numerous as $3,000. The sketch is live now on DoNotPay's website as able-bodied as in its app.

It sounds like a pretty crowning system. First, the sketch puts your number on the Do Not Chirp Registry, which makes it unconstitutional for companies to plague you with unwanted calls. Then, when you inevitably receive a call, you metacarpus over the vital credit digital details generated by DoNotPay. The credit digital transaction then collects the scammer's levelheadedness info which DoNotPay will use to automatically mass-produce demand messages as able-bodied as quadrangle filing documents to help you sue the spammer beneath the Telephone Customer Security Act (TCPA).

DoNotPay's Framer as able-bodied as CEO Joshua Browder says that the sketch is meant to provide financial incentives for companies to stop robocalling. "All of the big companies like AT&T as able-bodied as Dearest hypothesize ineffectual to reassure consumers," he told Vice, "The personalized way the botheration will end is if the robocallers start marring money every time they chirp someone."

Unfortunately, Robo Revenge won't assignment if your spam chirp comes from overseas. "Those people you can't sue considering you don't smack-dab palpate zone they are," Browder explains.

You could sue robocallers for up to $3,000

There has been some promotion in the US towards preventing robocalls through technology as able-bodied as legislation, but promotion is slow. Aftermost year both the House as able-bodied as the Senate voted in favor of new anti-robocalling measures, as able-bodied as the FCC migrator new rules to mass-produce it easier for carriers to automatically annals their marketplace for call-blocking technology. Technology solutions, meanwhile, hypothesize been slow to materialize, considering they rely on carriers acknowledging verification from festival individual operator.

The nice affair barely Robo Revenge is that it doesn't require any new legislation or tech solutions to be implemented, it just makes people cognizant of their existing legal rights. It's not an genuinely industrial sport (you'll still hypothesize to listen to the pitch as able-bodied as give the burner credit digital details to a comer over the phone, hind all), but maybe that's time able-bodied spent if you palpate you could get a determent at the end of the process.

This is just the latest industrial legal sketch that DoNotPay offers. The company's chatbot was initially focused on disputing parking tickets, but has since radiated to opposition vital credit cards (like the ones it uses to fight robocalls) to let you take assiduities of freebie trials without worrying barely having charged, as able-bodied as to automatically sue just barely anyone.

Correction: This credenda originally said that the FTC migrator new rules haphazardly robocalling. This should hypothesize apprehend FCC. We regret the error.
