Got a call from 201-716-4468 today.. Male on other end seemed to be faking tone of his voice asked to speak to "the person who handles security for this website" and when told "how may I help you" he hung up.
VERY unprofessional guy called from 201-716-4468, identified himself as representative of Comodo. Started off rude and casual like "who's in charge of ssl security over there?" Told him we just signed a year contract so wouldn't be able to make any changes and that I had to go due to time. He said "well who'd you sign with?" Told him a couple different companies, and that I was running out of time for this phone call. He said "okay, so lemme ask you ask you this; how many credit card transactions you run over there?" I said again that I was running out of time, he hung up halfway through my saying it. Does Comodo do no auditing of their callers? Even for a telemarketer this guy would have seemed rude.
Comodo may be an SSL provider; however, Comodo lacks strong authentication and business best practices, integrity, and ethics, to be considered a real legitimate CA. Be aware and careful of the unethical misleading lies told by Comodo sales representatives to steal business from legitimate CA’s. Comodo is a dirty dog.
They've called me a few times. They try to upsell you on a DIFFERENT SSL certificate. It's a scam where they try to get you to buy a "renewal" from them but it's actually a completely different company. Don't fall for this; a couple of our clients have and it's a nightmare to try to explain to the customer that they got taken for a ride.
Idiot with a New Jersey accent called me on my Toll-Free 800# number trying to sell a Comodo SSL certificate. I told him I was busy and not interested in anything telemarketer related. He asked if he could call back and started recited my toll-free number to me. I then advised him it was bad form to call a business' toll free number in order to sell something. Then I let the expletives fly. Poor [***] had no reply. I give him credit, though, the only thing remotely negative he said intimated that we were a 'mom & pop' outfit. Extremely unprofessional, amateurish, and boorish. Hey, Comodo, stop calling me on my 800#, personal number, or any number you manage to scrape up. I will never purchase anything from your brand....ever!
