According to the complaint–filed last Thursday by a consumer named Simone Clark–BSE sent unwanted text messages after TCPA’s marketing text cut off of 9:00 pm.

The Plaintiff seeks to represent a class of individuals that received similar texts.

  1. Besides the scummy, bottom-feeding law firm that filed the case (Can you say
    “What ever happened to ethics, Boys & Girls?”) there are more aspects that just maybe don’t pass the smell test…

    So the first 2 Nov 2023 texts: 1 @ 10:04 pm and 1 @ 6:59 pm do violate the basic 227c DNC 2 or more/12 months test. However, the next after 9 pm text (@ 9:47pm) was in May 2025.

    The Q is: do the pre-8am/post 9 pm texts have to be within 12 months or not?
    Cuz the 9:47 pm text is approx 18 months later.

    Upon further examination the Proposed Class they define is ‘(2)… [received] more than one text within a 12 month period; (3) where the texts were initiated before 8 am or after 9 pm local time, blah, blah, blah…’

    So by their own definition they have no case!

    Not only that, while the 2023 texts were totally generic, the 2025 text was personalized to Simone herself. Clearly not generic – just how did they get her name & number? Via an EBR? Hmmm..

  2. Now this Jibrael character is selling mastermind courses on Instagram, claiming he owns MULTIPLE 9 figure companies. All lies. He doesn’t even own one. Someone should report him to the FTC for making these false claims and scamming people based on these claims.
