Received a bill for something I did not order.
I vaguely remember a phone call one day about 20 days prior to receiving this bill requesting and verifying my company name and address. They wanted to record the conversation and questions in pieces. I thought this odd and should have recognized this for what it is. Phishing.
She rattled off something to do with a Business directory and a price of around $400.00. After verifying my Name and Company. When she came up with the figure of $380.00 and change I told her I wasn't interested in buying or advertising anything. She stopped the interview and recording to tell me that I wasn't going to be billed for anything that she was only verifying My Company and Name and address. Then continued with the recording. Odd huh.
Well now I know why. I did call to question the bill. It would seem there are many Corp offices at this phone number. The person assigned to this account was Loran Kelly and when transferred I got a blank voice mail to leave a message. I hung up and called the 800 number again and after the computer intro I could not get a live person again. It seems this is a common game and the company's name's change frequently to avoid prosecution.
I refuse to pay and will report this to proper authorities.
