Wow, really?
I mean that's quite an elaborated scam, creating a (crappy) website so they trick you into "hiring" their services...

I've never suffered one of those, just regular annoying advertising.
But I never hear what they have to say.
I reply "Not interested" right away, no matter what they are talking about.

I don't think it's a prank if they call twice. They picked my husbands number and that one's registered as main number for our company. I think they hope that they catch someone who barely knows what's going on or that they pick a company that's already using a similar service, for whom it's important to be found. Webshops or restaurants, whatever.

For us, we have one main buyer, our contact is good with them and I couldn't care less what other people think really. I don't want to be found, 'nor is it in our interest to be found. I already turned down official "list" services several times, those also start with "your company is rated so well! You must pay your invoices on time, congrats!". Well, thanks... >.> "Do you want to our service to check if your clients are just as good as you?"

Eh, no thanks. I know them. Like, all 3. >.> <.< >.>

All those scammers take advantages of things they know (or suppose) about you or your company. That's how they work.
And if they have sensitive information I'm sure they don't doubt using it. I don't think they have any scrupules <_<


I've gotten messages about supposed Amazon parcels and some aditional expenses, for example.
I hardly ever buy on Amazon so I knew it was an scam, but many people do buy there and they know some of them will fall for the trick.
It's awfully simple to devise an scam.

Like the ones who take advantage of elders, and use fancy words to make them believe they need to buy this or that.

Jeah, I use gmail though, so most fake amazon mail is filtered out anyway. Their scam detector is pretty good. :)

But yeah, getting emails from companies about packages which don't even operate in your country... Like, try again. >.> It's even more nasty when they send emails which seem to be from real companies, like gas or electricity. Get those as well. But again, they picked the wrong one, we didn't buy electricity from that company. Google helps though. :)

I tend to distrust pretty much any mail or text I receive.
I don't like hiring any service by phone, I'm the kind of person who likes to read things carefully and I usually prefer being able to ask questions to the seller in person.
So if it does not come by those sources I usually ignore it - even if it's not an scam.

Hahahaha, that's literaly free money!
No wonder you believed it to be too good to be be true.
