| said by phreaknheat:V probably only took action after customers complained which costs them $$$. V should be reimbursing customers instead of donating the money to THEIR selected "charity". Yeah, I like your idea better... 
I think the fine should be at least 100 million dollars, and the money should be divvied up amongst the customers who were inconvenienced and annoyed by these ba$tards.
True story- I once had a telemarketer annoying the crap out of me despite my being on the do not call list. I finally complained to the Pennsylvania attorney general's office about it.
Several months went by, the calls stopped. I forgot about it.
Then one day I got a letter from the PA AG's office. Scared the crap out of me too...
I opened it up, and there was a check for $100 inside. They acted on the complaints from consumers against the company, fined them, then split the proceeds among all those who had filed complaints.
One of the few times I ever saw government really do something right. |
