This isn't entirely true. I used to work for a telecommunications vendor and worked with predictive dialers and all the fun software and hardware telemarketers use to run their businesses. You are right that there are the dodgy companies that try to push the hard sale, but most of them realise that you can't sell to someone that doesn't want to talk to you. In fact, most of my clients told their reps that if they didn't get a positive reaction in the first 1 or 2 questions to thank the callee for their time and move on to the next call. It's the same as any other business in that some companies have the right strategy, and others don't.
I think in Jezsik's analogy it's more accurate to say "what if someone sues the bridge builder for mental anguish from fear of falling off the bridge".
Wells Fargo are definately negligent, but I don't think that people that have not been harmed by such mitigating factors should benefit financially when they haven't actually been affected by it.
