A small population of professional plaintiffs and repeat filers generates an outsized share of TCPA litigation, and their numbers ride into purchased lists the same way every other record does. Bastro flags them before your dialer finds them.
Every unique number on your file is checked against a registry of known TCPA litigators and serial plaintiffs at the moment the job runs — not against a copy cached last quarter. Duplicate numbers inside a job are checked once and billed per input row, so a messy file doesn't multiply vendor calls.
Verdicts are stored only with your job, as your audit record: which numbers were flagged, under which scope, and why. You get back a clean file ready for the dialer, a flagged file with per-row reasons, and a summary you can hand to counsel or a carrier.
At an illustrative 0.6% hit rate, a 100,000-row file surfaces six hundred numbers whose owners have sued callers before. Scrubbing all 100,000 rows costs $1,000 at the flat rate. A single statutory award under the TCPA is $500 — before trebling, before defense costs, before the settlement math starts.
Runs alone, or in the combined pass — litigator, DNC, and relocated number in one upload — from $0.01 per row. Full rate card on the pricing page.
There is no safe-harbor provision for litigator scrubbing — not in the TCPA, not in the FCC's rules. Any vendor promising “litigation immunity” is selling a sentence their own lawyer wouldn't sign. What scrubbing does is measurable: it removes the known, named, serial end of the risk curve from your dial list and leaves a record showing you did it. That record has weight — diligence evidence, exposure math, insurer conversations — but it is risk reduction, not a shield.
No statute or FCC rule grants a safe harbor for litigator scrubbing, and no list of plaintiffs — ours included — can make an unlawful call lawful. Bastro provides data services, not legal advice. Review your outbound program with your own counsel.
