A Guy Made $100,000 Suing Telemarketers and Opened a Bar Called “The Wrong Number”

A guy named Omar Khouri runs a small I.T. company in North Carolina but had a lot of free time on his hands early in the pandemic… So he decided to start answering all the telemarketer calls he got so he could threaten to SUE them!

Like a lot of us, he’s on the Do Not Call list. So they’re technically not allowed to call him. But most people don’t jump through the hoops to actually do anything about it.

He says he wouldn’t suggest other people try it, because it was basically a full-time job. But he ended up getting settlements from 20 to 30 different companies for a grand total of around $100,000!

Now he’s figured out what he wants to do with all that money. He just bought a bar in downtown Winston-Salem and he’s calling it “The Wrong Number.”

He’s doing a soft open next month, and he’s really staying on theme with it. A lot of the spam calls he got came from debt companies. So the drink menu will include one called “Debt Relief,” and another called “Car Warranty.”
