Get Paid for Robocalls

Let me ask you something crazy: How much would YOU pay to never get another robocall?

$50? $100? Maybe $500?

Now flip that question: What if THEY had to pay YOU every time they called?

That's not a hypothetical. That's literally federal law.

Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), companies that make illegal robocalls owe you $500 to $1,500 per call. Not "might owe you." Not "could owe you." They OWE you.

Let me show you exactly how to collect...

The Legal Framework (Made Simple):

In 1991, Congress was tired of Americans being harassed by telemarketers. So they passed the TCPA - a law with real teeth.

The law says companies CANNOT:

  • • Call cell phones using automated dialers without written consent
  • • Call numbers on the Do Not Call Registry
  • • Use pre-recorded messages without permission
  • • Call before 8 AM or after 9 PM
  • • Continue calling after you've asked them to stop
  • • Spoof their caller ID to hide their identity

When they break these rules? You can sue. And win.

The damages are fixed by law: $500 per violation. Up to $1,500 for willful violations.

No need to prove you were harmed. The illegal call IS the harm.

How the Payout Process Actually Works:

Phase 1: Evidence Collection (30-90 days)

You document every illegal call. With DNCme, this happens automatically:

  • • Call time and date logged
  • • Caller ID captured (even if spoofed)
  • • Digital fingerprints collected
  • • Patterns identified

The more violations you document, the bigger your potential payout.

Phase 2: Caller Identification (Ongoing)

This is the tricky part most people can't do alone. You need to identify the REAL company behind the calls, not just the spoofed number.

DNCme's technology traces calls back to their source using:

  • • Telecom carrier data
  • • Digital forensics
  • • Pattern recognition AI
  • • Industry databases

Phase 3: Legal Filing (Week 12-16)

Once you have solid evidence and identified violators, our legal network files claims. This can be:

  • • Small claims court (simple, fast)
  • • Federal court (bigger cases)
  • • Settlement demands (most common)

Most companies settle immediately when faced with solid evidence.

Phase 4: Settlement Negotiation (Month 4-5)

Here's what typically happens:

1. Your lawyer sends a demand letter with evidence
2. Company's lawyer reviews (they know they're guilty)
3. Settlement offer comes back
4. Brief negotiation
5. Agreement signed

Average timeline: 4-8 weeks from demand letter to agreement.

Phase 5: Payment (Month 5-6)

Settlement check arrives. Legal fees are deducted (typically 30-40% contingency). You deposit the rest.

Average DNCme member payout: $23,400.

The Math That Makes Lawyers Take These Cases:

You might wonder: "Why would a lawyer work on my $500 robocall case?"

They wouldn't. But they WILL work on your case with 50+ documented violations worth potentially $75,000.

That's why the evidence collection phase is crucial. You're building a case large enough to be worth a lawyer's time.

And because TCPA cases are so clear-cut (either they called illegally or they didn't), lawyers win 90%+ of cases. That makes them LOVE these cases.

Common Payout Questions:

Q: How much will I actually get?
A: Depends on violations and legal fees. Average DNCme member nets $15,000-$30,000 after a 3-4 month documentation period.

Q: How long until I see money?
A: Typically 4-7 months from starting documentation to receiving payment.

Q: Do I have to go to court?
A: Rarely. 85% of TCPA cases settle before trial. Most never even see a courtroom.

Q: What if they refuse to pay?
A: Then you go to court and usually win MORE (including legal fees). But this is uncommon - companies prefer to settle.

Q: Can I do this multiple times?
A: Technically yes, but ironically, once you sue a few companies, word spreads and the calls STOP. You become too expensive to call.

Q: Is this taxable income?
A: TCPA settlements are generally NOT taxable as they're compensation for invasion of privacy, not income. (But consult a tax professional.)

Why Companies Pay Rather Than Fight:

Imagine you're a robocall company. Someone files a TCPA claim with solid evidence:

Option A: Fight it in court

  • • Legal fees: $15,000-$50,000
  • • Likely outcome: You lose
  • • Court award: Potentially MORE than settlement
  • • Time: 12-18 months
  • • Publicity: Court records are public

Option B: Settle quickly

  • • Settlement: $20,000-$40,000
  • • Time: 4-8 weeks
  • • Publicity: Settlement stays confidential
  • • Efficiency: Move on quickly

They almost always choose Option B. It's just economics.

File Smarter, Earn Faster:

The secret to bigger payouts faster:

1. Document EVERYTHING - Even calls you think might not count. Let lawyers decide what's actionable.

2. Be patient - Collecting 60-90 days of evidence leads to bigger settlements than rushing with just a few calls.

3. Use professional tools - DIY evidence collection rarely holds up in court. DNCme's automated system is court-tested.

4. Work with TCPA specialists - General practice lawyers don't know the nuances. Our network specializes in this.

5. Think long-term - This isn't quick cash. It's medium-term justice that pays well.

The Beautiful Side Effect:

Here's what nobody tells you about suing robocallers:

Once you successfully collect settlements, the calls STOP. Not because companies develop ethics, but because you become unprofitable.

Your number gets flagged as "litigious." List brokers mark you as high-risk. Call centers avoid you.

So you don't just get paid - you actually STOP the harassment long-term.

It's the only method that actually works.

P.S. Every day you wait is potential settlement money lost. TCPA violations have a statute of limitations. Document now, collect later.

P.P.S. This is literally what the law was designed for. Congress WANTS you to enforce this. The system works when regular people use it. Be one of them.
