I made $60,000 fighting annoying robocalls - what you need to do to claim $1,500 every time they bot
A MAN has claimed that he has made $60,000 fighting robocalls.
Florida resident Adam Ward claimed he makes $1,500 every time he gets an unsolicited pre-recorded call from telemarketers.

He told WTSP that he made more than $20,000 last year by fighting the calls.
As many as 6,000 robocalls are made every three seconds across the nation, according to the voicemail app YouMail.
Ward said anyone can make money by fighting the calls, but they have to be willing to dig into the research.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 protects Americans from harassing telemarketers by allowing them to file lawsuits against them.

Doc Compton figured out how to monetize these calls by creating kits for "turning robocalls into cash."
The kit walks you through the process of turning the tables on the unsolicited calls.
First, you need to make sure you are on the Do Not Call List.
The kit works on any kind of call or text to your cell phone that's initiated by an automated dialing system.

It could be any kind of call that tries to sell you health insurance, home security systems, home services, even tax relief.
Kristi said she answers every robocall, logs them and records the call when she can.
Her advice is to play along and try to talk to a human so she can find out more information about the company.
Then, she uses a virtual credit card, not tied to a bank account, so she can see who tries to charge her. That's how she finds out the company's real name.
The Doc Compton kit provides demand letters and once she figures out where to send it, she sends one off demanding the robocaller to pay her.
Robocalls are illegal unless you give a group permission to call you. It's also illegal to call numbers on the Do Not Call List.
Things to keep in mind
Doc Compton, consumer advocate and creator of Turning Robocalls Into Cash Kit, said: "Believe it or not these guys want to negotiate."
"They don’t want to go to court because it, number one, exposes their identity which they don’t want, and then also two, it kind of opens the door for the feds to go in and examine their call records and their business practices.”
The Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act states robocallers can be liable for between $500 and $1,500 for every call.
If you log more calls from the same company, a bigger paycheck will come your way.
However, it's important to note that there are caveats to the law.

For example, you need to have been called twice in the same year by the same company to bring a claim.
Secondly, you have to sue to recover money - which means you may incur legal costs - although some companies just settle after getting a demand letter.
