My story is similar to others. I also came upon the website "Access Pharmacy Group" and started to look at it. I too filled out a bit of information and then realized that this was just another "go-between" company that then sends you information for other "go-between" companies and after awhile you realize that you are in a vicious circle, that you'll never reach a company that might actually be able to do something for you. So I backed out and went on my way. I did not place an order, never received any correspondence letting me know that I had somehow obligated myself to something, in other words, nothing, nada.
Two months later I received a collection notice from "Alternative Recovery Management - A Collection Agency" seeking payment for a debt they said I owed Access Pharmacy Group. I spoke with someone at the collection agency who gave me the phone number for Access Pharmacy Group, 1-888-311-6920. I left a voice mail message at extension 701, the so-called membership services line, but never received a return call.
It's obvious from other reports that this same collection agency is involved in other cases, and it's because of this that I'm beginning to think they may be part of this scam as well. Because that's exactly what this is. A fraudulent company sends your name to a fraudulent collection company, and they proceed to try to collect your so-called debt. The hook, of course, is using your credit rating as a weapon to get you to pay a debt you don't owe, but has been made impossible for you to clear-up since no one will speak to you or correspond with you about it.
I definitely plan on filing a complaint with any agency I can find, hoping to "out" this collection agency for what it is... An extension of the original scam. I encourage anyone else who has gone through this to do the same.
