CLARKSBURG — A woman is suing Tours Consulting LLC and telemarketers Lisa Ferrari and Dandrea Harris for alleged invasion of privacy and violation of telephone harassment statutes.

Diana Mey filed a complaint April 30 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, alleging that the defendants violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the West Virginie Consumer Credit and Protection Act.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff received a call on May 3, 2016 from one of the defendants in an attempt to sell her vacation packages. As a result of the defendants' actions, Mey claims she was annoyed, harassed, inconvenienced and distressed.

Mey claims the defendants made calls using an automatic telephone dialing system and called without her prior express consent.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks damages of $500 for each negligent violation and $1,500 for each willful violation. She also seeks general and punitive damages and other just and proper relief. She is represented by Benjamin M. Sheridan of Klein & Sheridan LC in Hurricane.
