USA Business SCAM - Discount Supplies Las Vegas, Nevada

16th of Nov, 2011 by User321753

On October 27, I was contacted by a Christen Anderson. She said she was a friend of our IT Manager and â€œhe told her to give me a call..because we might have a need..â€ and â€œâ€¦at the same time be able to help her outâ€¦â€ We are a small company in a small community, so this is not unusual. She said she â€œwas moving her business and wanted to get rid of supplies to save on moving cost.â€ Items quoted included pens for .05 per dozen, paperclips for .89 per box, staples for 2.59 per doz boxes, highlighter at 1.29 per dozen â€“ the list goes on. She rushed through the list and I basically said yes or no to each. I ordered 8 types of items totaling $98.35. At the end of the call, she said I would receive an order acknowledge via email and be invoiced. Shame on me for not getting her phone number. Immediately afterwards, I went to our IT Manager and asked if he knew her. He did not. I received the box of supplies Tuesday, November 15. Our receiving clerk brought the box to my desk with packing slip out. I did not even open the box because of suspicion at the point. To say the least, I never received the order acknowledgement via email. I call the number on the packing list (which had no prices) and spoke to â€œRobinâ€ at 3:37pm. I explained that I never received an order confirmation to confirm prices discussed. She said she could send me the invoice via fax. I received the fax. The prices were jacked so high, I was mortified in addition to Items being on it which I did not order. Their Invoice totaled $617.53. Funny, I tried calling â€œRobinâ€ back several times only to receive a â€œcall being forward to voicemailâ€ message now. I have returned the package to sender unopened and filed a complaint with BBB. Unfortunately, afterwards I checked BBB and other online sources and found over 18 other complaints file against the company with almost identical stories.
