Thanks to all of you who take the time to inform us about these scammers! I hav been receiving lots of calls too and am so happy to find this info. Thanks again,
Received a call regarding an advertising promotion at "Emerald Buffet." I told her I hadn't heard of it, she seemed incredulous and repeated a couple of times that it was the largest Chinese food buffet in Ottawa and then hung up on me when I told her that I understood but I had still never heard of it. Crazy much?
Received a call from this number trying to get me to purchase phone book covers ect.....That I was especially selected from businesses of my type. I told "Joanne" that when I googled the offer that it came up with a scam warning and that her number had been flagged as a possible scam tele ad. I told her I couldn't use her service till they sorted that out.
Rec'vd a call from this number. caller said his name was Grant. he said he was doing some work up in my area and wanted me to call him back concerning some project in alternative medicine with an opportunity to make money. just googled the number and seeing its a scam.
This company is Direct Media Group out of Quebec. The number is also linked to Impression Rinka and there is a 3rd so called business that I know of.
I was sold advertising on phone book covers July of 2011. I was told it was going to be in households by September. I should have asked what year. Today August 20 2012, I just received the phone book cover more than a year later. I had written it off as a scam. Especially because after they received the initial order they called back with good news. Another advertiser has cancelled and they can make my add bigger for more money if I send them a cheque within 24 hours. It was at that point I realized I just blew $870.
I did receive the phone book cover. It was just a year late and looked like the edges were cut by preschoolers. I hope they at least gave them safety scissors.
I had a sales person come to my office to sell this to me. I should have know better.
