FTSA Class Action Is Amended to Add More Specificity to Calls Redbox Allegedly Made

Plaintiff Ruby Gamez amended her May 10 class action by adding more specificity to the types of solicitation calls she claims Redbox made to hundreds of consumers throughout Florida. She alleges Redbox engaged in Florida Telephone Solicitation Act wrongdoing (see 2307060003). The involvement of an automated system for selecting or dialing phone numbers or playing a prerecorded message when a connection is completed is demonstrated by Redbox’s use of a “short-code” phone number, said Gamez’s first amended complaint Wednesday (docket 8:23-cv-01497) in U.S. District Court for Middle Florida in Tampa. The short-code number from which Redbox placed the calls is discoverable through caller ID, but the number isn’t capable of receiving phone calls, it said.
