They called with some story about how there was a national increase in the price of our tonor for our copier. I let him go on, but I think he realized that I knew it was a crock so he tried hanging up. I had to laugh because it took him a couple tries to actually disconnect.
We receive these every 4-6 months. Got one today. Played along. "Supervisor" Rick came on line. Knowing it is a scam (their cartidges sell for $380.00, retail is actually $35.00) I asked him "Isn't this scam getting old"? He said no. "This can't be still working"? He laughed and said "Oh ya, it is". Before he hung up, I said "F*** You". Beware!!!
I noticed that most of these comments are from years ago. I've been receiving this exact scammer phone call for the last couple of years still! They are extremely rude to us because we have outright called them scammers. Now when we hang up on them, they call back 5 or 6 times in a row just to spite us I guess. I'd like to report these guys to someone, but not sure who. The comments I've read seem to be saying that this scam is coming out of California. We are in Canada and are not sure how to make it stop. It's starting to seem like slight harassment. Any suggestions?
