On October 13 I received a solicitation phone call from a Matthew, an employee of the Ebay Auction Express team (Not affiliated with Ebay at all) or the Auction Succes Team. Both companies are the progeny of a list of internet scam companies run in Utah-all of which appear in negative fashion on the Better Business Bureau site.
My "encounter" with Matthew was troubling. He had called earlier in the day while I was studying at law school and left a message with my wife.
Later that same evening he reached me at 5:24pm. I asked him nicely to take me off the call list-he proceeded to talk. I said "stop talking and take me off your list." I hung up. Not 30 seconds later, Matthew called back and from what sounded like clenched teeth said, "Who the f*#@ are you and do you know who I am. What the f*#@ are you doing talking to people like that..." The explicatives were numerous and waxed threatening as I tried to ascertain where Matthew was calling from. If anyone knows where the 866-547-3229 number originates from I would like to know.
I'm going to visit the police station on Monday to find out because I'm certain I am not the first to be treated this way. I left a message at the number asking for a written apology and for Matthew to be fired-we'll see what happens. This is disturbing because the calls come from Utah, and I live in Utah with my little family. This guy sounded crazy, but he doesn't know that he is dealing with a U.S. Marine attending law school.
I want this guy taken care of. Meaning of course fired and sent packing-he's a lunatic and seems to rely on threats and foul language to coax his insecurities. Please, if you have had a similiar experience respond to this posting. For Matthew's employer, this would be an appropriate forum to apologize and tell of the job demise of Matthew at ext. 3506.
