US POSTAGE METER CENTER is the name of the company. Ashley called "on behalf of our Pitney Bowes Meter". When asked who she was with and what the company's name was that was what she kept repeating.
Obviously not the moct honest postage supplier in the world, huh?
Misrepresentation is also considered fraud, people.
This a scam to get all of the information from your meter and have items you never authorized delivered to you with a hefty sized bill. It is the oldest trick in the book. I spoke to someone named David who didn't know what meter I even had and told me Neopost and Pitany Bowes were merging. He also provided me with another number: 800-777-6335 x 312. He continued to fish for information by asking about the meter. I hung up and didn't give any information and I suggest you do the same.
I received a call from a very polite gentleman by the name of "William" identifying himself with U.S,. Postage Meter Center asking whether we had any problems with our Neopost machine. I told him no complaints so far. He tried to pump for info, but I told him we were A-okay. Turns out, this company is affiliated with Hasler which is a legit company. In fact, I had to order some of those little white postage meter tapes - Hasler is the supplier. So, if you happen to order supplies from Hasler, you can expect to get a call from this company. Hate that when a company arbitrarily takes the liberty of giving out consumer's information. That needs to stop!
Received three phone calls from this company, first was just a phishing call to verify what type of postage meter we had.
Second call was to say that my "gift card" had been returned to them due to inability to obtain a signature at postoffice. I pick up the mail from postoffice, so knew that was a lie. At the end of the phone call she said they would resend the "gift card" along with my supplies. WHAT SUPPLIES?
Third call was the verify that I had talked to the person and they were ready to send out the "gift card" and supplies. I asked what supplies, as I had never heard of this company U S Postage before. I said that we purchase our supplies from another company and they hung up.
If something arrives in the mail, I will refuse it.
They called and asked for the mailroom.
I asked who was calling and she said she was with Pitney Bowes. II told her that no one was available to take her call. She said that they would like to send a list of items for the postage machine. When I told her I would take down her name and number and have my supervisor call her back, she asked for the name. I would not provide. She said she would go back in her notes and contact this person directly and hung up.
I wish there would be a law against these types of calls.
