Jeff Allens from NY called wanting me to buy 1000 printer wipes at 3.59 each - tried to talk me down to 100 then 50 then 25 all while mentioning a free mp3 player he would send with a catalog.
I told him I wasn't interested in spending any money and he said "well that won't feed my kids tonight" and hung up.
No number listed or I would have tried to complain to a head office which probably doesn't exist.
Just got a call this morning from these guys. I know their sales pitch better than they do at this point.
- Referred to you as the purchaser of IT supplies.
- Just release a new catalog that I'm sending out to you along with a
free gift (Last time an MP3 player, today an LCD picture frame)
- Insert joke about not leaving it in the shower or leaving the pictures
from the last Christmas party on it.
- Highlight these two products that they just released, being the printer
cleaning sheets and the LCD Monitor wipes.
- Insist that they are superior in every way to wipes that are on the
market for 1/100th the cost due to a special formula.
- Badger you by cutting down the number of wipes that
you have to order down to almost nothing while still charging more than
a full canister of regular market wipes.
- Insult you if you tell them no and hang up.
- Call back in 6 months to a year claiming to be another company.
- Repeat process.
I've been working in my position her as IT Manager for almost 10 years and have gotten 6 - 7 calls from them usually from the same nasally voiced guy.
This time I told the guy that his sale pitch sounded a lot like one that I had heard last year from some scam artists. He quickly got in an insult about doing something with an iron pipe and then hung up.
*Sarcasm On*
What I love about them is their attention to detail and willingness to please the customer! I look forward to getting their catalog someday too!
*Sarcasm Off*
These guys are also known as Systemcare and Worldtech Systems.
Just got a call from these scammers 5 minutes ago. Ditto all the above comments. LCD picture frame was offered free as well. Typically I say we cannot accept free gifts and that is when I get hung up on every time. Annoying.
