Printer Toner Scam

Said his name was James Taylor! Just got a call and when i started questioning the call he said that I should get a life and quit playing on the phone. Kinda what i was thinking about him! Oh well.. Watch out!

Person called and acted like they were our vendor for the copier, we are the vendor! When I questioned her; she became very rude!

Called me 'intellectually ******ed' upon refusal to comply with request for serial number of copier.

asking for copier serial number and information related to copier.

Has called numerous times claiming they are our representative for our copier, yet we don't have a representative. They get rude when I tell them our manager is busy and unavailable to speak to.

very unprofessional, rude

Called 4 times. Used foul language.

This lady who called me asking for my copier information was a complete rude individual. She has the guts to try & tell me that I’m going on and on with my questioning of who the hell are you, that you need this information & then hangs up the phone. this individual has guts but F%#king balls she does NOT. She hanged up the phone on me LOL

Direct Distribution asking for model numbers of our printers so they can send new 2010 owner's manuals out. I told them I was pretty sure that if we needed owner's manuals, we could ask the people we are conracted with. She said, "OK" and hung up

This number always calls wanting our copier number and I tell them to stop calling and the caller hangs up. One day I tranferred the call to the police station! lol

Called my business to inquire about the copier number. I asked why they needed that, the person on the other line said, "Did you wash your ears down the toiled?" and hung up. If there is anyway to report this business as not being reputable. Please do.

Called back 3 times after I hung up on him.

Said his name was James Taylor at this above number and he said he is the provider of our toner cartridges and he was sending them to us in the mail. we never ordered toner cartridges as the company we deal with we are udner contract with them and the cost is provided under our contract. I e-mailed our staff not to accept anything in the mail, or sign anyting and to refer all call over to me.

I am on the no call list and this number called soliciting phony copier service and parts for a copier I do not own

Called and asked for James. Then asked if I was a business, said that I threw him off by answering hello. He was very rude and jumped all over me for the way I answered the phone. When I called the number back, someone else answered and said that they didn't make no calls from that number, it was a residence number. That they have been receiving all kinds of calls over this.

01-28-09 1st call Don said he was from Direct Distribution and wanted person in charge of copier. 2nd call verbally insulting and abusive demanding to speak with a man!

Michael Ross called from this number claiming he was our copier account manager from Office Support Warehouse. Reqeusted we confirm the model number, etc. from our copier. Asked some questions about who he was and was told our toner charges were about to go up from 2.75 to 5.75 and they want to send a shipment before price was up. Office manager advised we are undera service agreement and don't need a shipment. Michael said "so...you were sucked into one of those huh? well keep on sucking!!!" Now they won't stop calling....

This guy called from this number and actually claimed to be our account manager with Konica Minolta! He wanted to send us toner so we could lock in rates before they went up on Saturday. I told him he was a scammer and he got all mad then hung up on me!!!

These people call me 50 times a day wanting to sell toner for my copy machine...I hung up he calls back to tell me how rude and that he is putting my name out there so 150 will call me a day i don't have time for this and I need to leave my phone lines open for my customers.

Fake copier service person. When we hung up he called back a half dozen times and became threatening and verbally abusive. He do we stop this guy?

Tride to get information regarding serial numbers of our copy equipment. Stated his company was responsible for ordering service calls. Staff referred him to my phone,and when my answering machine picked up, he hung up without leaving a message. This is not the first time I have gotten a call like this, however it is the first time I have gotten the phone number.

I just recieved a call from this number, and got the same spiel. When I asked what company they were from, she hung up. Called back and dead air. Be careful with these people, because If you sign the paperwork they send over, it will cost you or your company thousands of dollars. The person who had this position before me got suckered in by these people, and since he was embarrassed about it, he cost the company $8k in 4 months before he quit. THEN they found out about it.

THOSE JERKS ARE TOTAL FRAUD! I HAVE WORKED SEVERAL PLACES AS A RECEPTIONIST AND I GET THE SAME CALLS ALL THE TIME FROM THESE IDIOTS, ASKING ME FOR THE MODEL NUMBER ON OUR PHOTOCOPIER!!!! I TELL THEM TO F OFF AND THAT I AM CONTACTING THE POLICE AND THEY HANG UP - THEY NEED TO GET A REAL JOB, AND A LIFE!!!

Called about toner cartridges for a copier. Hung up when I would not answer questions. Has called numerous times without leaving a message. Either a scam or a prank -- annoying in eitehr event.

Kathy called for my copier model number... hung up when I asked her quesions she did not want to answer

I recently overheard (while having a biz' lunch @ a local restaurant here in western PA) a speaker(cell)phone chat in the booth behind me between a few very nice professional folks from a local small biz' and the villians to whom y'all are referring above.  Their experience was similar to yours.  They, though, actually bought a couple of toner cartridges for $70 but were charged $465, which of course they tried to recoup via phone but were VERY rudely rebuked by one "John Wells" and one "Mike Watson" of this particular bogus firm, which is Network Supply Inc or something to that effect, over in southern CA.  They have no conscience or biz' morals/ethics, apparently, much to the disdain of my new lunch pals aforementioned.  I intro'd myself to these nice folks next to me & promised to investigate, as I've some "resources" which others do not.  These idiot losers over in CA are criminals, as it turns out.  They're liars, thieves & cowards whom have failed in life thus far & can only "earn" $ now via deceipt.These folks are also of a business terrorist nature, if you will.  Their pasts are filled with vile acts of fiscal crime which will surely catch up to them soon.  Meanwhile, I strongly recommend that all of you out there join the army of crusaders whom have targeted these particular rancid snakes & do ANYthing to disrupt their operation, i.e. calls, BBB reports, FTC reports, etc etc etc.  It will succeed, rest assured, and you'll be doing others like you a great favor which will come back around to you in time, as well.Meanwhile, to the Network Supply goons:  Your time's up, you gutless losers all.Gregory PattonWashington DC.Los Angeles CA-----

Toner Sales....Bogus call asking for Model #'s.

I was warned about this company when I started working here. Today they have called 5 times before lunch! They try to get me to give them the copier number but I don't have it (we have about 4 in our building) so I tell them I have to transfer them to our Supply Guy and they hang up. EVERYTIME! There's got to be a way to stop this. I will file something with the BBB today.

Out office just received 4 calls from this number today. Once person by the name of Ann said "up yours" and hung up when I told her I wanted to be removed from the calling list and was going to report the company. All three other calls we received resulting in the caller at this number hanging up on us.

Very rude woman called today, introduced herself quickly and before I could think, she asked me what model copier we had and I just blurted out that we didn't even HAVE a copier (untrue, but...). She promptly hung up. The number was listed as "private".

I believe this guy has been calling us for the past few months.  I can barely understand what he is saying (thick Indian/Asian accent).sometimes it's for some employee, sometimes for a copier number, the guy apparently pulls information off the internet but doesn't seem to pay attention to dates since he called today for a business that we no longer run (closed it 3 years ago).  I normally don't even answer the "unknown numbers" I don't recognize but I was standing next to our corded pottery barn phone and thought it might be my hubby.  Very annoying - if he calls again I'll give the phone to my 2 year old and let him babble for awhile.  He likes to talk to people.

Called about copier today. I could swear the same guy (a man with a thick Indian accent) has called before about an employee and for our HR department. I normally don't answer calls I don't recognize the number but I happened to be next to the only phone without a caller id screen and thought it might be my husband calling. They aren't very smart because he was calling about a business we closed 3 years ago. Guess his database is a little behind the times.

Calls and claims to be our supply representative for our copier, then asks for a serial number to look it up in their "database." If they were legitimate, they would already have that information before they called. Beware of scams like these!!!

I just got off the phone with one of those rude solicitors.  They trick people (that do not know any better) into buying random toner.  That's how they make their living. It is sick and disgusting. I am tired of them calling me. When I started asking him questions as to who he was, who he worked for, what copier is he speaking of (because they don't know- they just want to push toner on you then bill you).. he told me to shut up and listen to him. WTF?!?!  I then told him that is where he went wrong, it proved my point totally. That I knew who he was and what he was trying to do. This is probably against the law. I did hang up on him after telling him also to not ever call me again. I am sure he will try again. They always do!

A man keeps on calling the company asking for an employee and doesn't want to leave a message. He calls asking about our office equiment.  Please do not give out any information.  He is running a scam. SCAMMMMMMMM

He keeps calling saying he's calling about the our Zerox machine. When I asked what this call is concerninig, he hung up on me.

These people are horrible.Rick D. with this company called in yesterday and spoke with our receptionist who said they would be calling back today (which they did at 11:51am EST).  Evidently they thought she was taking an order (which they did to me about 8 months ago) and were calling to confirm it.  I told them no, we do not do business, do not want to order from you, and for them to stop calling us.About 2 hours later (at 1:50pm EST) Rick called back to ask to speak to our receptionist but she was out at lunch.  I told him I could assist him because she was doing my old job.  I then told him no, we do not want to work with their company and that I had already told them today to stop calling.  When he asked what their company was called of course I could not tell him what it was because they never share this information.  Never the less that was not the point, and I explained that it does not matter what their name is (the company we work with NEVER calls us about toner price increases because the price of toner is included in our fixed contract), in which case he kept interrupting me asking what their name was and when I told him he was very rude he told me no, I was rude.  At this point I told him to stop calling our office and hung up.  He immediately called back (at 1:51pm EST) and told me my office had placed an order for 5 things of toner, to which I asked to speak with his manager.  Suddenly I had somehow ordered 10 things of toner and I yelled at him that I wanted to speak with his manager right then and BAM!  I'd ordered 20 things of toner without even realizing or saying I wanted toner (evidently no means yes) and he'd hung up.  After I'd calmed down after about an hour and a half I called back and could not get through.  I'm assuming the number is only an out going line.I've sent an email to the information portion of the BBB with the number, hoping they've seen this before so the UPS guy doesn't have to bring 20 cases of toner to our office.  Even if the BB doesn't have information on this company based on the number alone I intend to get the company name off the boxes, refuse the shipment, get the number, and complain to every agency that looks over them and their corporate offices.Once I have this information I will gladly return and post any and all information I have for other people that are experiencing similar problems.

Frudulent impersonator of copy machine supplies

Pretends to be customer service or our copier.....this is FRAUD. I asked her what her company name is and she hung up. Companies, and people like this need to be procesuted.

Someone called with the pretense of "customer service for the photocopier". When I hung up on them they called back. When I asked who they were THEY hung up on me! I tried to call the number and could never get it to go thru.

This place has called back AGAIN 3 more times even after my last encounter (above).  This time, the caller sounds like a 6-pack-a-day smoker and when she is questioned about where she's calling from, she just hangs up.Next time, I think I'll set the phone down next to the computer speaker and let it play William Hung or some other horrible American Idol audition while they are "on hold".  I wonder how long they'll hold for someone listening to THAT.....

needed copier serial number - told her she so needed to hang up now and she did

asked for my copier model number and then cursed at me

Identified himself as someone calling to 'let me know our toner price was going up.' He asked me for the model number of our copier. I told him we order all our supplies through our maintenance agreement contract, he hung up !

Got *another* one of the "copier supply" calls today. Decided I would mess with him a bit. "Ralph" informed me that he was calling with the company we buy our copier supplies from. (Keep in mind, we buy them from a small, local shop.) They were sending out a new catalog and he needed to verify a few pieces of information to be sure that he was sending out the correct catalog to us. He wanted our copier make and model #.I told him that he should already have that information if he was already supplying us with copier supplies. He said that he didn't and that's why he was calling.I said, "That's because we don't buy supplies from YOU," to which he replied back (sternly) "Yes you DO."I replied back, "No we don't. I'm the OWNER and I know where ..." but before I could finish he hung up.We've gotten so many of these calls in the past, usually for the copier, but occasionally for office supplies and paid print advertising . I had already had a rotten morning and decided I would pass it along to this idiot on the other end of the line. Try it sometime, it's kind of fun! Made me feel a bit better!

Chris Neilson constantly calls my place of employment and harrasses me. he call me disrespectful names etc..

I work for the company that is recieving calls from the above number. They insist we order toner and printing supplies through them, even though the number is based out of California, and we buy locally. We have explained this many times and have asked numerous times to be taken off the call list, and they refuse, sometimes rudely. Once the caller even cursed at us.

I had placed a service call to Danka about some lines that were appearing on the copied paper. Shortly after, Some one in my office sent me a call they had answered. The guy had my name (don't know how unless co-worker gave it to thenm, but they said they did not)and was telling me ALL ABOUT what I had called about so I figuered it was Danka. When He was asking for the model number and saying that he had placed a call to the tech and would be "sending out our new service manual that was included in the price" I told him that he would have to wait till my manager got in tomorrow, I was not authorized to make purchaces. He then asked for my last name (gave the wrong one)then said ok, then hung up.

Today I received another one of these calls.  Must be the 4th this month.  Wanted to know if I wanted my supplies sent Priority.  After 3 calls this was not new - I told him that the repari man was just leaving and he brought me the supplies I needed.  I asked if he wanted to speak to him before he left -  Surprise - He hung up.  I really wish I could get them to give me a company name so I could report them.

This number calls every hour asking about the company's copy manchine numbers etc...Have advised not to call, have warned not to call, now they are telling us to shut-up.I have reported them to the Federal Trade Commission, ha, lets see what happens from that.

Just recieved a call from this number, I do all of the ordering for the company and they were talking about toners and said that the price adjustment for it happened March 1st and it was their fault they didn't send anything out. Said they were going to send toners with invoice later to follow because company usually does this. I said no because I do all the ordering placement and we never used them and they said to hold on then hung up. Tried calling back. Dead line.

These guys called me today...I could hear laughing as I picked up the receiver, so I knew it was going to be some kind of shady operation.  Once he stopped laughing, the guy spoke very quickly and said, "Customer Service, we're calling about the photocopier."  When I told him that he must have the wrong number, we don't service photo copiers, he said that he was calling about OUR photocopier and wanted the number on the back.  He promptly hung up on me when I advised him I wasn't going to give him that information.  I too, tried to call the number back, but there was just dead air.  I hate calls like this because, for one, they're up to no good, and secondly, I waste time trying to figure out who they are!

They called spoke quickly regarding a catalog, then asked for the series number for our copier when i responded with "we do not have a copier here" they hung up. Who are these people?

Very rude individual asked to speak with whoever handles "supply ordering".  I asked what kind of supplies, she said, "is it you" or another person (names the name).  I told her we weren't interested, hung up. She called immediately back to state "you aren't the one I called to talk to and I WILL call her back".....very rude.  I traced the number - apparently this is a common problem.

Caller said hello "Is this ...Healthcare Group?" When I said yes, the caller hung up.  I called the number back and the connection never went through, just air tone on other end?

They've called before asking for the code located behind the copier.I respond and tell them I don't have numbers just letters.....I spell out f u ----then hangup
