Here's a verdict to applaud: A federal jury in Oregon last week slapped a robocaller with a penalty of up to $925 million for violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

ViSalus, a multi-level marketing company that sells weight loss products and dietary supplements, got hit with a class action for making thousands of illegal telemarking calls featuring prerecorded or artificial voices and disregarding the Do Not Call registry.

“[O]nce an individual found themselves in the unfortunate position of being on ViSalus's contact lists, it was literally impossible to avoid getting called. Ultimately, ViSalus ended up calling thousands of people who did not want to be contacted and who repeatedly requested that the calls cease,” wrote plaintiffs counsel from Forum Law Group and Edelson PC. The plaintiffs were also represented by Dovel & Luner.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act provides statutory damages of up to $500 per call for using a prerecorded message or artificial voice without prior express written consent from the recipient or for violating the Do Not Call registry.

With surprising precision, the jury found ViSalus made 1,850,426 illegal calls. Which at $500 a call, adds up fast.

ViSalus was represented by Quarles & Brady and Miller Nash Graham & Dunn.
