Half-baked response: I like the goal, but I worry that an opt-in system would be too easy to ignore. I imagine the exploiters working for Access Funding could come up with a pretty convincing pitch as to why their client should bypass such a service.
Personally, I wish that there was more due process around this sort of thing. So, for instance, as part of the settlement a lawyer had to be there to advise the recipient throughout the process.
- prawn 11y agoYeah, I think that action from the exploiters would be inevitable. But it pains me to think that there's not a decent solution to this. I get phone calls from people representing businesses that claim to represent major phone providers, or use names very similar to mainstream providers. Must fool a lot of people. If/when a lot are overseas, there's no recourse against them.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoWho provides the lawyer? The company? They'll shop around til they find one in their favor. The individual? Good luck being able to find a lawyer, but here are some brochures from the company with lawyers we recommend. A government regulations entity? Now let's add regulatory capture to the mix.
