TCPA Data
Scrubbing Service - Identify and Remove
Known Litigators and Complainers From Your Data
Protect your business from
costly TCPA lawsuits and reputational damage with Blacklist Scanner -
your robust shield against serial litigators and professional
plaintiffs.
At Blacklist Scanner, we understand the immense risk posed by TCPA
litigators and professional plaintiffs lurking within your contact
database. Just one call or text to these individuals can lead to
expensive lawsuits, settlements, and significant harm to your brand's
reputation.
Introducing Blacklist Scanner - your reliable defense against serial
TCPA litigators and professional plaintiffs. Our dynamic database
comprises 4,234,485 numbers linked to professional TCPA plaintiffs and
attorneys, along with over 2 million litigators from partner
aggregators, bringing the total to over 6.2 million known litigators,
including our database of 1,624,449 complainers. These individuals, also
known as serial litigators, career plaintiffs, or "lawsuit mill"
litigators, are the last people you'd want to contact or engage with for
any reason. In fact, almost 40% of those who have filed Do-Not-Call, TCPA, FDCPA, or FCRA lawsuits have done so multiple times.
Our Blacklist Scanner acts as a powerful barrier, safeguarding our users
from making that one fateful contact that could result in unnecessary
legal and financial exposure.
While the Blacklist Scanner significantly reduces the risk of TCPA
lawsuits, we recognize that the risk cannot be entirely eliminated. A
known litigator may slip through on occasion. Nevertheless, the risk is
substantially reduced compared to not taking proactive measures to avoid
contacting blacklisted numbers. Marketing without scanning your data is
akin to using your computer without high-level virus protection software
while connected to the internet.
Safeguard your business today with Blacklist Scanner - the ultimate
defense against costly lawsuits and brand damage.
AVOID PREDATORY LAWSUITS AND DEMAND LETTERS
Blacklist Scanner offers marketers, call centers, and debt collectors an
effective defense against the relentless menace posed by professional
TCPA plaintiffs and attorneys. Our robust firewall system is

plaintiffs or "lawsuit mill" litigators, ensuring your business remains
protected.
For those utilizing texting in their marketing campaigns, we strongly
recommend scrubbing your contact lists against our comprehensive
database of known litigators and complainers. Text-based marketing is
rapidly becoming a breeding ground for TCPA litigation, making it
crucial to take preventive measures and protect your business from
potential legal and financial repercussions.
Choose Blacklist Scanner as your trusted ally in the fight against
predatory lawsuits and demand letters, and confidently pursue your
marketing campaigns with peace of mind.
PROTECT YOURSELF - PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS
Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), companies engaging
with consumers via phone calls, texts, or faxes face potential lawsuits
with every communication. The TCPA has inadvertently given rise to a
multi-million dollar litigation industry where attorneys and consumers
profit significantly from forcing well-intentioned companies into
exorbitant settlements or risking crippling judgments. This outdated
legislation, while initially well-meaning, remains unchanged and
continues to fuel a surge of litigation, enabling predatory attorneys
and litigious consumers to generate millions of dollars.
In fact, there are career plaintiffs who have crafted step-by-step
guides on litigating under the TCPA. A simple Google search for "turning
robocalls into cash" yields over a hundred results, showcasing the
extent of this issue. View HERE (opens a new window)
Using automated dialing systems to contact consumers through calls,
texts, or faxes exposes businesses to the risk of being sued by
individuals alleging a lack of written consent for such communications.
With potential damages reaching up to $1,500 per call, the TCPA has
become a breeding ground for abuse and a lucrative opportunity for both
attorneys and litigious consumers. Protect your business by staying
informed and taking proactive measures against these risks.
EVERY BUSINESS IS A TARGET
The Unintended Consequences of the TCPA on Legitimate Businesses
Ironically, a minuscule percentage of lawsuits filed under the TCPA
actually target the abusive telemarketers and scammers the legislation
was originally designed to combat. Instead, the TCPA inadvertently
places any marketer or business in the crosshairs of a burgeoning
industry of professional plaintiffs and class action attorneys. These
opportunistic individuals have compelled numerous companies to pay out
millions of dollars in settlements for frivolous lawsuits that have
little merit.
As a result, the TCPA has unintentionally shifted focus from its
original purpose, allowing predatory plaintiffs and attorneys to exploit
its provisions to their advantage. It is crucial for businesses to be
aware of these risks and take appropriate measures to safeguard
themselves from becoming targets of baseless litigation.
THE TCPA HAS BECOME A LITIGATION JUGGERNAUT
TCPA Litigation Surge: A Call to Action for Businesses
Since 2010, TCPA litigation has skyrocketed by an astonishing 1,273%,
turning the legislation into a virtual cash machine for litigious
consumers and predatory attorneys. These individuals threaten companies
with potential destruction over even the most minor technical
violations. As TCPA litigation continues to expand, it poses a real risk
of shuttering businesses unless they take proactive steps to remove
known litigators from their databases.
In this rapidly evolving landscape, businesses must stay vigilant and
actively protect themselves from the ever-growing threat of TCPA
litigation. By implementing appropriate measures, such as maintaining
updated contact databases and ensuring compliance with relevant
regulations, companies can minimize their exposure to costly lawsuits
and safeguard their operations.

The Rise of Professional Career Plaintiffs in TCPA Litigation
In the realm of TCPA litigation, over two-thirds of all plaintiffs are
professional career plaintiffs with a history of filing at least one
other lawsuit. Many of these individuals have filed dozens, or even
hundreds, of lawsuits, exploiting the system for their own financial
gain. Professional plaintiffs actively seed databases with their contact
numbers, hoping to receive unsolicited calls that can serve as the basis
for their lawsuits.
To propagate their numbers, these career plaintiffs dedicate hours each
day to completing online registration forms on various websites. By
doing so, they increase the likelihood of receiving unwanted calls or
texts, which they can then leverage into lawsuits against unsuspecting
businesses.
As this phenomenon continues to grow, it is increasingly important for
businesses to remain vigilant and take proactive steps to minimize their
exposure to potential TCPA lawsuits initiated by professional
plaintiffs. By maintaining updated and compliant contact databases,
companies can better protect themselves from falling victim to this
predatory practice.
We maintain two databases, allowing you to scrub your data at an
affordable cost.

4,234,485 records. (Litigators and Trolls & Complainers)

basis, helping our users stay one step ahead of the bottom feeding TCPA
litigators.

affordably scrub your data, effectively minimizing the risk of
inadvertently contacting these predatory individuals.

damage. Leverage the power of Blacklist Scanner to safeguard your
company's future and maintain a compliant contact database at a
cost-effective rate per record.
THE EVOLUTION OF TCPA CASES OVER TIME: A striking Increase
The growth of TCPA cases over time paints a striking picture. In 2007,
class action attorneys filed a mere 14 TCPA cases. Fast forward to 2015,
and that number surged to 3,710, with an anticipated annual growth rate
of 70%. What drives this dramatic increase? The disparity in financial
payouts between attorneys and consumers tells the story.
On average, attorneys receive a staggering $2.4 million payout for a
TCPA class action settlement. In stark contrast, the average consumer
recovery from a TCPA class action settlement amounts to just $4.12. This
vast discrepancy fuels the exponential growth of TCPA cases, as
attorneys and professional plaintiffs continue to exploit the system for
their own financial gain.
