Local NewsAttorneys say damages can range from $500 to $1,500 per call or textORLANDO, Fla. – A Florida business owner says spam calls have become more than an annoyance: he says they’re overwhelming his phone and interfering with his ability to run his company. Brian Wisniewski, who runs River Rave Entertainment, told News 6 he’s dealing with near-constant calls during business hours. “I get them about one every two minutes,” he said. “So by the time I hang up with one and get them to hang up, I’m on a call with another one. It’s continuous all day long from about 9:30 in the morning until 9:00 o’clock at night.”Wisniewski said that since last Thursday alone, he’s logged 649 unwanted calls. In one day, he said he received around 170. He reached out to News 6 after a previous report on robocalls, saying the volume has made it difficult for legitimate customers to reach him. “I’ve had to suspend it until I can get this under control because everybody that needs to get a hold of me can’t reach me,” he said.
