Resort Sales by Spinnaker, Resort Sales Missouri and a John Doe corporation are facing a class action lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts over telemarketing calls to members of the National Do Not Call Registry.

Plaintiff Brian Beardsley, a Massachusetts resident, claims that he received repeated calls from John Doe Corp. on behalf of Resort Sales attempting to sell vacations to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

The defendants provided a list, numbers, a script and a time to call individuals to John Doe Corp. and are then liable for those calls, according to the telemarketing class action.

The class should include anyone in the National Do Not Call Registry in the United States who received calls from John Doe Corp. on behalf of Resort Sales over the past four years, the lawsuit claims. The scripted pitch included the telemarketing talking about “bonus points” that would help pay for vacations to the Spinnaker resort in Hilton Head.

The telemarketing class action claims the calls were “frustrating, obnoxious, annoying, were a nuisance and disturbed the solitude of plaintiff and the class,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit cites several other complaints that have been made against the companies that have been posted by the Better Business Bureau about “non stop calls” and “calling me every 10 days trying to push their product.” One comment said that the company kept promising to remove the caller from the calling list but did not actually remove the number.

Class should receive between $500 and $1,000 per call, telemarketing class action claims 

The class should receive between $500 and $1,000 per call received, the telemarketing class action claims. The lawsuit also asks for injunctive relief against future telemarketing calls.

Westgate Resorts faced a class action lawsuit, filed in 2020, claiming it used high-pressure sales tactics and did not disclose required information to prospective buyers nor does it provide adequate access to timeshares.
