Winston-Salem Man Makes Over $100K Suing Telemarketers
Omar Khouri was so sick of telemarketers, he started suing them.
According to WXII-TV, Khouri won more than $100,000 in settlements against the telemarketers, and plans to use the money to open a bar called “The Wrong Number.”
Khouri said despite being on the do-not-call list, he gets a lot of calls. When he had extra time during the pandemic, he started filing lawsuits. “I didn’t really have anything else to do because I’m stuck at home,” Khouri told WXII-TV. “So I started answering the calls and talking to them and answering their questions enough to figure out who they are and then I was able to go after them.”
Khouri said he has reached settlements with 20 to 30 telemarketing companies.
