So you do so by calling people who are on the DNC list, breaking federal law, and scamming people? OK, your post sure set me straight. I thought this was just an out of the country scam, now it appears that you're in the country, and breaking the law. Sureee I'm gonna do business with you.
Sure hope you didn't pay them. Even if you agreed to buy their overpriced junk, you still didn't get what you ordered. Get a consumer attorney, and let them do the job. What a scam.
DO NOT send them any money. This is a scam and they are making thousands of calls like this. DO NOT let their threats scare you. They do not have your social security number and cannot submit you to a collection agency for a bill you do no owe. Call the Better Business Bureau if you need reassurance - they have a file on them a mile thick.
I worked for this company for about a week. They are a legitamate company, but they definately border on the boundaries of being illegal (And in some ways they might be breaking the law).
1) They are not a charity. They are a for Profit company. They sell common household items at vastly inflated rates (For example, 8 lightbulbs for $99). By law there aren't any restrictions on the prices that you are charged. If I could talk you into buying an empty soda can for a thousand dollars, then its a legal sale. It might be ethically wrong, but it's legal.
2) They get by claiming that they only hire handicapped workers, and that the products are all packaged, processed, and shipped by handicapped workers (As well as the telemarketers all being handicapped). They operate under the disguise that they're selling the products at vastly inflated rates in order to provide handicapped workers a job. But,
1b) Many of the employees they employ are in fact, NOT handicapped. I was not handicapped when they hired me. All they asked me when I called to inquire about the job was "Do you have telemarketing experience?" During my interview they informed me that they only hire handicapped personell, but depression, anxiety, or any other diagnosis will qualify. They do NOT verify that you have the disability that you claim to have.
2b) Their "telemarketers" blatantly lie. They routinely tell people it is a donation or a contribution, when in fact it is not. They will say things like "And for your donation of $50 I'm gonna send you a gift of lightbulbs!" This is not true. It is a purchase, at a vastly inflated rate, that is suppose to help keep the handicapped individual employed.
2c) I saw people NOT in wheelchairs tell customers they were in a wheelchair, and I saw guys in their 20's/30's telling people they just got out of the hospital from a Stroke. One guy I worked with would talk like a "retard" when he was on the phone, but he had no actual disability. Another guy claimed he was a crippled veteran from the Iraq war, when in fact he wasn't a Veteran let alone crippled.

Their motto is "It's not the price or the Product, it's your Story!!" They sell household items so they have something that everyone uses, but the prices are around 10X retail value (And if they can get more out of you, they will).
Most of their customers are misled into thinking it is a charity, or that they are specifically helping a handicapped person out. Many of their customers are the elderly, or people who can't really tell what they're doing over the phone.
As far as them overcharging, I didn't personally see that happening. I also am not aware of any orders being sent out without authorization (They have a second person validate that the order is legitamate, but I guess they didn't always do that so it is likely people use to ship out products with bills, or overcharged people's credit cards.)
Those of you getting called multiple times a day, they work on an Auto-Dialer system. So if you don't answer they just press a button and call the next number. But it recylces you in the queue and will often call you back many times in the same day.
My direct Opion: Their telemarketers are dishonest (But very good at it), and the company is exploiting what HAS to be a loophole somewhere to sell cheap crap at expensive prices. When you purchase from them you ARE helping someone out -- The company profits, and the telemarketer makes a commission off of each and every sale. If they do not maintain a quota of sales they will get fired, so even the actual Handicapped people that work for the company have no job security -- And since most of the "Good" telemarketers are NOT handicapped, those are the people who work with the company long term.
