Your company continues to call my home asking for me. I tell them that I am not home, and you all continue to call. Luckily, this is not my real name so they can continue to call. I am enjoying the light bulbs Sucker. I bet you the next time that you try to threaten somebody by sending them to collections, that you think about getting the correct information from the person that you are trying to scam. Peace!!!! And on a side note: stop using the disavantaged and handicapped as your way to sucker people in. That is really a messed up thing to do.
I received a call from this number to verify that my dads address had not changed. My dad is elderly and over the years he and my mom had contributed to a number of charities and organizations. I verified the address was correct and gave them my name as the contact name they spoke with. 10 days later I receive a package in the mail, addressed to me(wrong spelling of name) containing an (American Mills 3pk) dish towel, potholder, and oven mitt with a due now bill for $59.99.
I did not order a kitchen set, especially one that can be obtained from Wal Mart at a fraction of the cost. I am most upset that they took my name and sent me info that I had not requested from a phone call to verify my dads information.
Now had they sent him the light bulbs he and my mom had gotten for years, they would have most likely gotten a donation. Had they asked me outright to make a donationto the organization, they would have most likely gotten a donation. However since they are scamming I am returing the package to them(registered mail) with a note to remove me from their mailing list.
Should I get any type of collection from them I will sue the pants off of them.
I was one of those that was sent out without authorization. They called for my elderly father, to verify he still lived at the number and address. I verified it and they updated it stating that they would mail him an info pack, and the lady said her supervisor would call back to confirm that she had in fact spoken with someone.
The supervisor called to verify my name, and the address was still correct. AT NO TIME was a product or price ever discussed.
I THINK THAT QUALIFIES AS DISHONEST AND A SCAM. If I agree to by $.88 light bulbs for $99.00 then that is one thing, but if I have no idea I am making a purchase and am sent items and a bill I did not request, then that is a scam.
I worked within the financial and insurance industries for decades. You can't ask someone to pay for what they don't order.
And if the calls are being monitored as they say then I don't have a worry in the world, they have proof I didn't order any bulbs.
okay. so here is the gist of it. this group adhw calls all kinds of people a day. i myself am pushed to use sympathy and make up stories of being disabled and such to get money from older people. i am disgusted how they operate. i work in the pontiac office or atleast i will for another day or so. i sincerely appologize if i called you. policy is three rings and on to the next person. we are told to present ourselves as handicapped or disadvantaged, which some of us are. still its a shame what they tell people to get them to buy light bulbs. and the kicker is that they only keep those that make sales. so some are given a chance and if they got a heart they don't make it. i myself don't push or pressure people. i am disadvantaged where i find it hard to get hired by other companies.
now some workers present themselves as vets or that we are helping vets and battered women. the stories vary with the caller. now these people are only trying to make a living. the owner is to blame. its not about the product its about the story.
i hope this helps. as for the dearborn employee, i wouldn't want to give up my identity either. but i feel this falls under the whistle blower law. if u do answer simply ask to be taken off their list. i do but i can't vouch for others.
These guys have changed their number!
it is now 248-481-3272
The name I was given was American Handicapped and Disadvantaged Workers and are in Michigan.
Same scam - 8 light bulbs for $40.00
