Full-service market and survey research firm AUS Marketing Research Systems, Inc., which does business as SSRS, is the defendant in a proposed class action that claims the company broke the law by placing unsolicited, autodialed phone calls to consumers’ cell phones. The 18-page complaint claims SSRS utilized an automatic telephone dialing system, prohibited for use in non-emergency situations, to conduct a “wide-scale survey campaign” in which it called consumers without consent.

The plaintiff claims he had no prior relationship with SSRS, and that the defendant continued to call his cell phone even after he demanded the calls cease. Moreover, the defendant allegedly admits in a job posting on its own website that employees place outbound calls to consumers who “are not expecting the call and many times are not happy to receive it.”
