I received a call from this number tonight. He knew my daughters name and asked to speak with one of her parents. He said she had requested info on how to improve SAT and CAT scores. He said it was 4 CD's for $184.00 with a 30 day evaluation. He started to confirm my address when I asked him for a phone number to call him back after I had a chance to talk with my daughter and husband before moving forward. He said that is why they offer the 30 day evaluation. I said I really needed to talk to them before moving forward and guess what...he hung up on me. My husband called the phone number that came up on caller ID and it went straight to an automated machine...SCAM!!!

We get calls every day from this number, and it has been happening for weeks. No one is there when we answer. Today I yelled in the phones, do it call this number again, I was just so mad about the constant nuisance.
Ditto. Sounds just like the call I had 10 minutes ago - he knew my son's name, which was his "in" and proceeded to talk quickly with a superior sounding tone. When he got to the part about me reserving the material to help my son with his SAT and ACT scores, he was trying to rush me to give him my credit and/or debit numbers. I also told him I needed to verify this with my husband before committing to anything, when he proceeded to crank up the urgency a notch. Finally after I said for the third time, "Why do you not understand that I do not give out credit card numbers over the phone to ANYONE? But if you want to mail an offer to my house I will look at it," then he hung up on me, too! Not very professional . . . . TOTAL SCAM!
