Deceptive Marketing

[Brian R]

Pisses me off...I don't do it. If I market to someone, they know who I am and what I sell.

I got a phone call from a Credit Card proccessing company. They pretended to be from the company I use and said I was "eligible for an upgrade". Crock of shit. Took me a couple of minutes and about ten questions to figure it out.
I said "I can't help but think this is a sales call". She then said she would fax me the info. F'n B.

Ok, I feel much better now...Didn't mean to go all Bob Vawter on all yous.

I had a guy call me one time, said I could get a better rate, yada yada yada.
After talking with him for a few minutes I just said I wasn't interested. He then threatened to put a bad credit report on me if I didn't change!
So I phoned the company he "said" he was representing. Turns out there are companies in Africa or other places that will phone and get all your info but are totally phony, then they create a card in your name and you end up with the bill.

I just tell them "I don't have any credit cards."

You got to love the response, Priceless.

Speaking of identity theft, I couldn't believe it awhile back when I walked into a country primary school and found each childs social security number taped to their desks.
