TCPA litigator scrub: what it means in pay per call
TCPA litigator scrub: Checking phone numbers against databases of people who frequently file TCPA lawsuits or demand letters, and suppressing those numbers before calling or texting.
How it works in pay per call
A small group of serial plaintiffs and their attorneys file a large share of TCPA cases. Litigator databases (Blacklist Alliance, TCPA Litigator List, DNCScrub, TCPA Lookup and others) flag those numbers so you can suppress them.
Scrubbing is a risk-reduction step, not a substitute for consent. Most teams run it at lead intake, again before dialing, and alongside national and state DNC scrubs and a Reassigned Numbers Database check.
TCPAWorld reported a record pace of TCPA class-action filings in 2026, which is why buyers increasingly require scrubbing in their insertion orders.
Example
Example: before loading 10,000 callback leads into a dialer, a call center sends them through a litigator API, which flags 37 numbers. Those numbers are suppressed across every campaign, not just this one.
