This number called our business today at 1642 hours. The caller ID said "Benchcraft Comp" and it was not a local number so I let the recorder pick up the call. They did not leave a message. For the heck of it, I blocked my number and called them back. Some guy answered. When I asked why they called he said he didn't call, he only answers the phone. He asked where I was located. When I told him which state, he knew what area I'm in without being told. I didn't confirm it, however, only asked why he was asking that. He said it was because they were "working with" some golf courses in that area. I told him I was familiar with their scam, suggested what he could do with himself, and promptly disconnected. Thanks everyone for posting so I knew what to expect.
This is a scam see yelp and ripoff report for Golf Course guide. I Called the Golf Course they were trying to sell me and they had no idea what I was talking about. Salesmans "fake name" is Thomas Whigman. Info and IP adress has been sent to FBI.
I have worked with Jim for about a year now, I have multiple spots at multiple courses and it has been worth it every step of the way. Everyone who says its a scam obviously don't have there heads on straight!!!!
I have been working with Nick for a while now,(like Tom Hanks supposedly better looking, I don't know) however when James answers I try not to talk to him. I have several ads on several courses and they have always been honest and deliver what was promised. I just would not work with the James guy
I remember this bunch of crooks. They have a habit oif having company paid shills come here and put "glowing" reports up, too bad the hired the three stooges this time to do it.
