About once a year I get a call from the same girl that "Is sorry she missed me she was in town. My free stuff is being shipped anyway." She thanks me for my business and starts in about my purchasing guy and drops some VIP names consistent with my colleagues..... Thing is, I've worked for 4 different companies and she does well to keep up on where I work. I've had the same cell phone number throughout. After about 7 years of this (her name and number are in my speed dial), I finally tricked her into giving me some info that let me track down her "parent company". They have a website and all. But if you look closely at the website you'll start to see the problems. It's "IPC Marketing". I called their "headquarters" in FL and played a little scam of my own. With the names of the folks I talked too, their numbers, and the alleged names of owners and a President, I called the Consumer Protection Agency (3 times). Come to find out, they get away with what they do because businesses use the items they send and then pay for them at exorbitant prices as a result. I guess they are hard to prove criminally. I think it's just our feds being lazy.

I look forward to their next call. Who wants some free stuff? LOL

Seven years?!?! Wow, it must pay off for them to be that persistant.

We don’t answer if we don’t know the number on the ID, but someone calls about twice a month and leaves a message that sounds as if it’s been cut off midway. So the message starts “... as it relates to the financial stimulus. Again, this is your last opportunity. Please call blah blah blah.” I can only assume the part that’s “cut off” is supposed to make you so curious that you’ll call. Fat chance, idiots!
