A federal judge has preliminarily approved a $28 million class action settlement resolving claims that telemarketers working on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank secretly made call recordings.

However, these calls allegedly were recorded without the merchants’ knowledge or consent, a violation of California privacy law.
