The settlement class is made up of all businesses and business owners in the United States who had DirecTV services installed in their commercial establishment, who were subsequently audited by Defendant Signal Auditing Inc. and who at any time from Aug. 4, 2012, through Aug. 23, 2022, received communications from the Lonstein Law Offices PC or Wayne Lonstein or Julie Cohen Lonstein on behalf of DIRECTV seeking money for allegedly unauthorized use of DirecTV licensed programming, including NFL Sunday Ticket or any other DirecTV-related programming.

Further, the plaintiffs, according to the DirecTV lawsuit, were misled to believe an “auditor report” indicates “proof” of the allegation. The lawsuit states “members of the scheme work in concert to target minority business districts where DirecTV installers have previously solicited.” The auditors would pose as customers, ask to change the TV Channel to find a DirecTV program that would violate the Communications Act and secretly take photos or video recordings.
