A New York man has filed a proposed class action lawsuit filed against Lexus of Manhattan over alleged Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) violations. According to the complaint, the defendant sent a text message to the plaintiff’s cell phone despite a lack of consent or any prior business relationship with the man. The message allegedly contained the following text:

“Good morning, this is Jen the service concierge from Lexus of Manhattan. Can I text you regarding a special maintenance offer for your Honda Vehicle?”

The plaintiff says he replied “Stop” to the text and received an automated message informing him that he had blocked future texts from the defendant’s phone number. The suit claims the defendant’s messages were sent using autodialing technology and therefore violated the TCPA.
