Scam?

I know this is random but has anyone had a call from someone like this... "Hi, this is Colby Jackson. I just need to check something." I was like, "Okay what was your name again?" (Thinking he wanted to check his sessions or whatever.) He said, "Colby Jackson. I need to check the model number on the printer." I was like, "I'm not interested in your scam." It's weird because this happened a couple of months ago and I was actually thinking about it before work... thinking, if they call me again with that printer crap I'm going to call them out on their scam. The first time, they said, your boss ordered a printer cartridge and we need to verify the shipping address. I said, I am the boss and I buy all my stuff from Staples. I knew it was fishy because even if I weren't the boss, the owners care nothing about printer cartridges and where I buy them from. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and they fell for it?

Re: Scam?

JUST FOUND THIS!!!

im a ex phoner toner and i realize how damaging it is to businesses and getting innocent people in trouble at thier jobs so here they are

Sales pitch


Introduction

Hi This is Your name how are you I need to check a number on the printer it should be on the front right by the name if its not it might be on the back on a metal tag thx great can I speak to the boss over the add dept.

Pitch

Hi this is your name I was calling in regards to your add printer name I had a mix up and my boss wanted me to straighten it out with you what happened was we had another account in the area the same kind of printer like you have you know the your name and last week they traded theirs in they didn’t tell me here soon enough and I had already sent out the boxes so my boss said since you were close by and running the same printer like they had he wanted me to reroute a small part of the order over to you he said you can use them can you spell your last name

Close

What I sent out was 24 of the boxes but I already found some one to help out with half so all I have left was 12 you know how they usually show up as 98 a box this time they will be 60 for helping out ohh before I forget whats your zip code great so there is no confusion I will send all the paper work straight from the distribution center you know add company name and ill make sure to leave my name Your name on the bottom of the add company name I do appreciate the help thx bye

then you will be verified with

Verification pitch

Hi this is add your name I am in the processing center with add company name I was calling in regards to the other day you spoke with add salesman’s name he had just left me a note attached a hand writtin order that you agreed to purchase the 12 boxes of ribbons for your add printer name he went ahead and discounted them to 60 a box for you I have them going to give their address and before I forget what purchase order did you want to use on it ? great net terms are 20 days but there is a additional 3% discount if you get the bill paid within 10 days from receipt thx bye


then 2 weeks after paid invoice you will get this call

re order# 1

Hi this is add your name with add company name my secretary brought me you last paid invoice and she had it marked partial pay I did some double checking and it seems we owe you folks a apology it was on your last order apparently we only sent you a partial order I wanted to get it out to you once again it was just the add order plus half for the add printer it should only take about 5 working days to have it all straightened out and because the delay was on our end here im going to authorize a additional 4% discount that will show on the new invoice for your accounting folks as well thx bye

then 2 weeks again

RO # 2

Hi this id add your name with add company name I just took over in the accounts receivable dept I understand about a month or month and a half we shorted you on a order of the ribbons for you add printer name I just wanted to get them out to you so our price increase does affect you since this is a balance from a pervious order once again it was just the add order and a half for the add printer name also in the future if you have any questions or just want to place a order please go through me again im add name and because that delay was on our end im gonna authorize another 5 % thx bye

Re: Scam?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I feel like I should put up a note for my girls so they dont fall into the trap. I guess dumb girls at tanning salons are pretty good targets.

Re: Scam?

they got my employee last year.... i kept the shipment ($280 worth of refill paper) and called them to say they spoke with a child and wouldn't be receiving any payment. i made them fax me a paid off reciept for scamming a child in a family run business.

btw there was no child... scam them right back. i do have enough thermal register tape to last 3 yrs. lol

Re: Scam?

I got this the other day also! Well my day girl did, I just happen to have been at the salon to tan! I told him it sounded like a scam and that no one would order printer cartridges, this is a tanning salon, how much printing do you think we do? I asked for his contact info and boss info so I can ship him the extra tanning lotions I got that he ordered and he hung up on me.
