Here in The Dallas area I DID Receive a plastic container of gift cards/ coupons with the usual "Sorry...." on my door. Today I got another
"Sorry I missed you" on my door and called the #214-307-1978, surprisingly a telemarketer answered. I was polite and I told her to stop putting this crap on my door OR ELSE. I stated "what on the third attempt you're going to break in my house?" I advised the lady to look-up her company and then she would understand my concern. She was apologetic and said I did not know but, asked ("are you my wife's name")? My reply obviously I'm not but, Im chief of the boat and I am reporting you to the police!. CALL TYPE SCAM/ THEFT!
this is a scam that has apparently been a problem in numerous cities in Arizona, including the Phoenix area (i posted to that number also, as it came up when i did a google search for "Metro Delivery scam").
we have had three door hangers left on our house in the past month; neither number on the tag is a working phone number (Austin 512-942-6211 or San Antonio 210-515-5276), and of course the Metro Delivery website is "down." this morning i tried to wave down/stop the person who came up to put it on our door, but she RAN back to her car and sped off (didn't get the license plate - this time).
i don't consider this telemarketing; it's unadulterated harassment, and i consider it a personal threat. we put a note on our door warning them to stay off our property, which i still think is the "nice" way to handle it. i certainly have no qualms about reinforcing the phrase Don't Mess with Texas, if it comes to that.
I got a door hanger also left on my door. I called the number this morning because i wasnt' expecting any packages and a anserwing system picked up. I left a message. Don't know exactly what these people are up to but beware.
I also got a door hanger. It looks like a missed package reminder, but there is no Company name. It simply says "sorry we missed you: Please call to reschedule San Antonio 210-515-5276 Austin: 512-942-6211. They even have a confirmation # at the bottom. When I called an automated voice said please standby and then no one picked up and there was no hold music. I think this is one of those sales tactics for the work from home bunch. When you call they try and sell you some timeshare or insurance from their kitchen.
A guy in a red PT Cruiser was in my driveway today. He had placed a Metro Delivery tag on my door. He said something really quick and then sped off. Probably a scam.
