The Fathom Reality class action lawsuit arose after the plaintiff allegedly received several promotional messages from Fathom Reality on behalf of agent Marcus Edwards, despite their phone number’s inclusion on the National Do Not Call Registry. The plaintiff alleged these promotional texts were a direct violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which prohibits telephone solicitations to individuals who have listed their phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry.
