This evening, I received a phone call from a Mr. Robert Brown, who claimed to represent 'Fulfilment International Corporation and informed me that his employment number with that corporation was 113. Mr. Brown advised me that I was eligible for an 80% discount on a package cruise worth over 4000. He went on to describe a very elaborate cruise.
When he eventually asked me for my credit card number, I explained that I would only divulge that information when I had verified the credibility of Fulfillment International. Mr. Brown then assured me that the UK Trading Standards Office, held a security bond for Fulfilment.
As this did not satisfy me, I asked what time it was in Coldwater - Michigan, and was told that it was 14.30. I then requested a phone number, in order that I could ring back within two hours, in which time I would verify that Fulfilment was a bonified company.
Mr. Brown gave me the phone number 5172 2788824. He then said that there may be difficulty getting thro to him and said he would phone me back in 2 hrs.
As the first reference I found was on your WebPages, I don't think he will be ringing me back. However, if Mr. Brown was not blatantly lying, it may be worth the victims contacting the Trading Standards Office to ascertain if there is a bond.
Sadly I did give Mr. Brown some personal details relating to my ASL including my address. Still, lessons learned, and I just hope he will not find a way to abuse that information.
