It's next to impossible to return items once you have fallen for this scam. I've found a fast and easy way to end these calls: let them get through their initial pitch about the new catalog and whatever seasonal special event that they are kicking off, then they always ask if I'm still using that 2" tape, same as ever, to which I respond "no, we're completely off tape here. We're exclusively using adhesives here." This confuses them enough to end the call. Feel free to use this non-sequitur next time they call, it's kind of fun.
I just got a call from Mike and Bill, they talk fast and friendly and try to fool you with a digital sony radio. They said they were happy to announce their 25th anniversary special and with the box of tape they were sending us they could freeze our price for 24 months. I kept asking if we had ordered from them and their reply was well we have been in business for 25 years, there is no way of telling and went on to explain the free radio they were sending me. After Mike got done with his schpeal he transfered me to Bill and he wanted to confirm our shipping address as well as if we would like to put a PO# on this order of have a verbal confirmation. I told him that i don't think we ordered anything and he got frustrated and talked slower (like i was a moron). I asked the price and how many rolls he was sending us he said it was a box of 96 rolls of tape for $4.56 each. I said no we are not intersted and hung up. These guys have their speech down and try to trick you into taking a box just to freeze prices for 24 months. Sounds like the rest of the stories!!
A man called and asked for the shipping dept. I asked him what it was regarding and he said he had a package being shipped UPS. I asked him what is inside the package and he hung up.
THIS SUPPOSED COMPANY DYANTECH CALLED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY DAY AND TOLD ME THEY WERE SHIPPING A NEW CATALOG AND RADIO TO OUR ADDRESS. I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TIME TO COMPREHEND THIS INFO BY THE TIME MY ORDER WAS PLACED. WHAT KIND OF BUM DOES THIS FOR A LIVING???
i received this phone call also from Brian and Bill twice. After talking to both, i called 1-800-960-1138 and got on the phone with Lousie and demanded my name and number taken off the list or i will persue further. We will see what happens.
Called me on 2/25/09. Said they were from Dynatek Industries. Would send catalogs and a radio for 25 year promotion. Then said would also send a case of tape and would bill it to be due in 30 days. Told him I did not want any of his tape. He got very confused when I told him that I already have a contracted supplier. Obviously, didn't think their scam through far enough. Tried calling 213-537-1964 and call would not go through.
Did some research and found this phone number is supplied by TCAST Communications. They provide VoIP services. They are in California and their phone number is 800-759-8227 and website is tcast.com. Also found Dytek Industries has a website and is a shipping supplies distributor. Maybe the website is part of the scam. Their phone is 800-960-1138 and website is Dynatekindustries.com. If everyone contacts these two companies, perhaps they will consider doing something about these phone calls.
