TCPAWORLD ON THE ROAD: Nomorobo is at it again– Suing RSI ENTERPRISES, INC for at least $1.798MM

Add a comment

So I am on the road for a little baseball related vacation with the boys.

But that won’t stop me from bringing you the latest TCPA developments! 🙂

One of the biggest stories of 2025 so far is Nomorbo– a massive honeypot owner– has taken to suing companies that make prerecorded calls to their numbers.

DEAR LORD: Nomorobo Just Sued Synchrony Under the TCPA For Calls to a Honeypot And This Could Be Enormous

For the uninitiated, a honeypot is a large collection of phone numbers owned by a company– here Nomorobo–to permit it to monitor calling activity across a large sector of the american telecom network.

Nomorobo, for instance, as 290,000 numbers in its honeypot– NONE of them belong to consumers. So any call made to the honeypot number is made without consent.. or so the argument goes.

Well Nomorobo has recently began suing companies who have made “illegal” calls to their honey pot numbers under the TCPA. And since the TCPA carries  $500.00 minimum statutory penalty– and since Nomorobo has probably received something like 100BB unconsented robocalls to its honeypot (just a guess) the parameters of Nomorobo’s success in these cases is incredibly meaningful to businesses across the nation.

In the latest suit, Nomorobo has sued RSI ENTERPRISES, INC claiming it made at least 3,596 illegal prerecorded call to its honeypot– at $500.00 per all that is at least $1.79MM it is seeking to recover.

Ouch.

The issue is simply this– does Nomorobo have standing to sue?

The TCPA seems to permit any person or entity to file suit, but some courts have found only “consumers” who are actually using a phone can sue under the Telephone CONSUMER Protection Act.

But what’s in a name?

We will soon find out.

Will keep a very close eye on this.
