I received a call from Resort Marketing asking if we would be interested in buying discount hotel packages for business travel. Since this is a huge expense for our company, and the caller said that the representative was sponsored by the major hotel chains (and he named them), I thought it would be worth checking out.
The next day, Bill Grembowicz shows up with his very professional-looking brochure and certificates. Our company bought 4 vouchers. As soon as Bill left, I went back and called the number to verify the certificate. I got a voice mail message, so I called a second number that he had given me-same thing. That's when I got on-line to find out about the company.
When nothing specific came up, I entered the name Bill Grembowicz, and the FRAUD flags started flying!!! We put stop-payments on our checks and reported the guy to the cops. We are also notifying all of the marketing and legal departments of the hotel chains whose names were used so that they will be aware of what this guy is doing. Too bad he doesn't you his time and energy as a real salesman, instead of a RIP-OFF ARTIST!
