Did You Receive an Unsolicited Text Message from Oakley?

Unsolicited Text

Have you ever given Oakley your phone number, maybe when you bought sunglasses online or in-store? Have you received an unsolicited text message from Oakley? Did you know it’s against the law for a company to send you unsolicited text messages without your permission? A federal law called the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) prohibits companies from sending unsolicited text messages, or “text spam.”

In fact, unwanted text messages are being sent to thousands of consumers across the country by companies of all types, including restaurants, banks and debt collection agencies. Not only is text spam annoying, it can also cost the victim money as most wireless carriers charge for SMS and text messages.  Violating the TCPA is a serious matter and can carry a $500 fine per violation. Cell phone subscribers that can prove the TCPA violation was intentional can sue for up to $1,500 each time a company unlawfully contacted them.
