So remember when I said the state level legislation is where people need to be focused right now…

Anyway, new bill in MA would make this (amongst other things) illegal:

 [article_ad]

“caus[ing] to be displayed a Massachusetts area code on the recipient’s caller ID unless the person making, placing or initiating the call or text message maintains a physical presence in the commonwealth…”

And if thou so causes:

“Aggrieved persons… may [sue you for] fines of not more than $10,000 per each deceptive call; provided that said fine shall be not less than $5,000 for each deceptive call involving a consumer age 65 years or older.”
