I was contacted by a person who claimed to be calling from American Handicap and Disability Workshop. I have received calls from this person for several years and have always told them, I am not interested. My caller ID indicates they call my telephone number three times a day.
The last call pitching a rip off was a man who asked me to please make a donation to this org for the payroll of Handicapped workers.in return I would receive some complementary lightbulbs. I told the caller I was not interested. The caller was arrogrant, pushy and rude.
Several days later I received a small box which I did not order. I gave this box back to my Postman with return to sender on box.
In the meantime I am receiving calls from 248-292-0861 five times a day, per my caller ID.
I started receiving flaming red post cards telling me I owed them 100 dollars and was past due.
Last week I finally answered their call. The woman told me that I had a debt with them and I needed to pay up or they would continue to call me until I paid. I ask, pay for what? And she said the Lightbulbs. I told her I returned the light bulbs and did not order them. She called me a liar and told me I had to pay them or else. She told me a supervisor confirmed the orginal call and verified that I had agreed to pay them a donation. This is utterly false. I realize then I was speaking to a criminal. This woman was rude and yelled at me. I told her I was on the Do not call list and to stop calling me. She told me it was prefectly legal for her to call me. I ended the conversation.
Today they called again and said I could stop all the calls if I would give them my checking account number so they could draft my checking account. I told her No, I was not giving her my banking information. I ask her for an address and I would send her a check. My goal was to get the mailing address to link up with the bills they were sending. She told me a check could get lost in the mail and never be properly credited to my account. She insisted I give her my banking information.
The address she gave was: PO BOX 55750, Phonex, Arizona 85078.
I then told her the company she worked for was operated by a convicted felon and he was a criminal. I told her she was a criminal and this would all be turned over to the FBI and the State for investigation and prosecution.
That process is well on it's way.
I urge everyone who has been criminally harrassed by this group of thugs to report them to the FBI and State Consumer Authorties.
