In an amicus brief filed in the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in the case of Glasser v. Grand Hilton Vacations, consumer groups including CFA argue that Hilton Grand Vacations Company, LLC perpetrated over 15 million automated telemarketing robocalls to the cell phones of American consumers without their prior consent in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Hilton’s attempt to evade those consent requirements by using a person to mindlessly click a button on a computer screen to push a list of numbers to an automated dialing system hundreds of miles away, resulting in a multiplicity of calls, should be viewed with great skepticism by the Court.
