I got ripped off $700 from Benchcraft Company. Robert Harpham (probably fake name) called me and said that they were designing golf guides for a local golf course - Sunridge Golf Course in Northern Nevada. He charged me $350 for advertising in one golf course guidebook. I sent him all the info that I wanted in the ad. Tyler O'Dell (probably another fake name) called back a couple days later and said he was having a special - 2 years for the price of one at another local course - Genoa Lakes . I naively agreed to the 2nd offer, also. I thought I would look them up on the Internet, which I should have done before I ordered, to check if they received any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. I saw numerous complaints that were filed against the company saying that they keep delaying delivery of the golf course guide and never provide the finished product. I called back Tyler O'Dell and asked to speak with his manager. He put me on hold for several minutes and then got back on the phone and tried to disguise his voice as the manager. I told him that he was pretending to be the manager and I told him that I wanted to cancel the golf guide orders and get a refund. Then he started calling me all sorts of names. I reported them, but I don't think anything happened with my complaint. I just received a call from their number today so they are continuing to try to screw people. Other numbers include 800-824-8311 ext. 252, 425-293-6919, 503-596-2465, and 503-858-7299.
Yes...just received a call today asking for the owner and wanting to showcase our business on the towns country club golf course score card. I have a feeling its a scam because the number is not local and i know of the people that run our country club. when i started asking him questions he started to get nervous to answer.
what was your experience? it was just wierd that he was very vague.
Got a call from this number saying he (Robert) was calling on behalf of the golf course "just down the street from you." He was interested if I would be interested in being a photographer that "their" golfers could contact directly.
First off the golf course he listed is a PUBLIC course, so it didn't make sense. Next, the number wasn't a local area code.
I am a licensed massage therapist in North Carolina. Received a voice mail from 971-245-6657 today. He claimed to be from Wildwood Golf Course, wanted to locate a massage practice that their "golf members can contact directly". And, this man said his name is Jamie (and then MY last name - how stupid!) He gives enough details to make you WANT to call him back... But don't do it, I am sure this is a SCAM.
