Papa John’s: It’s probably not better pizza.
Whoever thought text messages offering special deals on pizza would be a bad thing? A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Papa John’s for sending illegal messages to their potential clients. Plaintiffs are claiming that while they originally provided their cell phone numbers to the take-out pizza chain, they did not consent to receive advertisements via text message. Some members of the class-action suit have reported to receive multiple texts back-to-back, and also at odd hours of the night. The third party mobile marketing agency, OnTime4U, is also a defendant in the suit. Plaintiffs are seeking compensation at the rate of $500-$1500 per text message.
