well I just got a call from ICR from Angel at my work...she stated that I owe her $94.50 for a years subscription to supervisor saftey buliten. I told her I have never agreed to this and will check with our company's billing office to see where this is coming from. She told me that it doesnt matter the claim is against me. WOW!! hung up from her and did a little serch online...well all be...I am not the only one who is getting tried here!! I called her back and demanded the company that was submitting this claim she told me the PBP and I asked her to fax me all aditional info. she stated she would have to call me back she needed to rap up another call. I took a number off this web page from other complants (THANK YOU!!) I called 18002205000 and #3 for a real person who was Cindy extention 413, I told her I will have to have all documents faxed to me before I will pay a dime, she went through this whole deal telling me all the ways they tried to contact me(LIE!!!) I said "Look Cindy I am a supervisor and have been doing this same job for 20+ years and never once have I agreed to any telemarketing for myself or on behalf of my company, I want the papers to take to my company billing office." "I have looked online and see I am not the only one that is having issues with this company" she told me she has privilage info on me that varifies I othorized this...my DOB...wow really I said well a monkey can look my DOB on line so that is BS and untill you can show me in writing where I signed for this I am taking it to the Atturney Generals office and will get back to ya!!! Cindy only had this to say" its under $100.00 so we will just write this off, have a good day!" Good luck to you all out there DONT GIVE THEM A PENNY!!!

Invoice scam
Got a letter call from ICR collection agency stating that we owed $299 for an accounts payable publication we did not authorize shipment of. Was told if we paid $130 they would cancel the rest and not charge more. To keep our credit clean we gave our visa # to pay the $130. We were given the name of the employee who supposedly authorized it by giving her birthday. It sounded fishy, but this employee was at Mayo clinic battling skull cancer (not an exaggeration) so we let it go. When this employee came back to work, she had a copy of the original invoice that she had mailed back to the company with a big X through it, having written on it "did not order". I called progressive to notify them of the situation and they had me fax it to them. A few days later, I spoke with Cynthia Thomas who was nice at first and eluded to the fact that she did us a favor by reducing the original $299 to $130. When I asked her to reverse the $130 since we had documentation showing that we did not want the publication, she started getting a little more defensive and said she would not reverse it since that invoice was not sent back within 30 days (which it was, but we couldn't prove). I told her that this is a huge scam and that there are complaints all over the internet about this company. She said she didn't care what people were saying about her on the internet. At that point she was becoming belligerent, so I told her forget it, that I would just do a chargeback on the VISA. She responded by saying, "Fine, if you do a chargeback, I'll "come at you for the whole $299", and hung up on me. Wow, what business savvy!
