Ripoff deception

Contacted by a 'IBI' telesales rep, who used deceptive sales techniques to send us a Business CD Rom (they don't tell you that you will be charged $369).
There is no way to contact this company, the telephone number will just get you a voicemail, which is ALWAYS full, suggesting that they don't want you to be able to speak with them, they don't return any kind of correspondence,
We tried Emails, Faxing, telephone, and regular mail, and still heard nothing... Until we had the first of many calls from a collection company, apparently representing 'IBI', the collections company (NIC) insisted on payment, we told them that we were returning the CD Rom (which after touring half of Canada and the US, it was returned to us) showing that nobody was at the address listed by 'IBI'.
After fighting this with NIC collections, we were able to settle with them for $50, when the CD came back to use, we tried using it to find that you need an access code to activate the listed information (company sales directory), which brought you back to square one of not being able to contact 'IBI' to get the access code! Very frustrating and time wasting!
If you recieve a call from this company trying to send you a American Business Index CD and Listing, Don't do it, they are a rip-off comany, who employ collection tactics to get money of you.
