Home security group Protect America, Inc. has been hit with a proposed class action in which the plaintiff claims the company “routinely and as a matter of practice” sends unsolicited text messages and places automatically dialed phone calls to consumers’ cell phones in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The plaintiff, a Colorado woman, claims she received the nuisance texts and calls from the defendant between July 15 and 18, 2017, messages in which Protect America supposedly advertised giving away a free Amazon Dot and $1,400 worth of equipment.

“[The plaintiff] had no relationship with Protect America and did not know why she received a message purporting to be from Protect America,” the complaint reads. “[The plaintiff] had not provided her number to Protect America, nor did [the plaintiff] solicit or seek out the messages she received.”
