I accidentally called one back a few days ago and incoming robocalls have gone through the roof. I have no proof that that's why, but I won't rule it out. On a more positive note, Hiya has been working really well identifying spam

It's worse than that. The actual award to the class is a 10% off coupon. So, to get compensation, a class member would need to send Zappos money.
