POH Regional Medical Center - regarding payment matter.

Several years ago we purchased on a solicitation call some light bulbs we found inferior and overpriced.  We decided the organization was a crooked scam.  A couple of weeks ago I got a box from them which I did not open but marked "Refused--Return to sender and it went off in the"  About a week later I got a bill for $30 which I discarded.  Since then I have been getting daily aggressive calls demanding I pay this bill even after I explained I had sent the unopened box back to them.

Sorry about the typo in the last sentence.

They are using numbers 248-292-0869 and  248-292-0872, also. Were very convincing and seemed legitimate. I told them to send me the variety pack of cards 55 for $59.95. Not bad cost per card if they come, but told them I'd send a check after receipt, and now I'm definitely concerned because I don't want to be hounded. We have a private number and when I asked how they got it, they said the Association of Disable Veterans, which I used to give to yearly and stopped because we seemed to be continually bombarded with mailings (that is where our money was going...what a waste!)I am NOT going to send a private check as payment if the cards arrive. I will send a certified money order with a notice that this is a FINAL payment terminating our association and that if I receive further communication from them via phone or mail that I will file harassment charges against them. It is unfortunate that these people prey on giving considerate people and deprive the truly needy from receiving donations because of their deceitful solicitations.Beware and document all of your correspondence. They will cease once they know you are serious and mot threatened by their actions.

I had sick children and this number, (248-292-0857) started calling my home at 8 a.m.  After several phone calls, I asked that they not call again due to the phone waking and disturbing my sick children.  The male who was calling began yelling and cursing me stating that if I would answer my phone it wouldn't continue ringing.  He then hung up.  I called the number back and a female answered, who was just as rude and also hung up on me.My husband made the mistake of purchasing unusable light bulbs from this number years ago on the pretense it was the American Disadvantaged Workers.  He paid an enormous cost for the bulbs.  I will contact the State Attorney's office to file a complaint and any other place that I can find that will accept a complaint.I am a person with a mission.

These people from AHDW will trick you to believe you are donating money.  Then they insist on sending you some free stuff to thank you.  But once you receive that stuff, they will send you a bill asking for payment.  This is a big scam.  If you receive such call or encounter such thing, call your state attorneys office to complain.

We, too, have been getting calls from AHDW.  We were sent two boxes of lightbulbs, all of which were broken.  I'm assuming because we did donate to them last year for the cheapest American flag ever made.  We then recieved a red collection postcard for $100 for those lightbulbs, which we are absolutely not about to pay.  I called the number on the postcard and left a message stating we would not be paying for broken lightbulbs, let alone $100 for them.  They keep calling us, 3-4 times a day, my husband has asked numerous times to be taken off the list.  But yet they still hound us.The number they call us from is (586) 486-2599

they call me from time to time 248-292-0866 was the number from them today. telemarketers should be treated like witches back in the day.

Recording regarding a missed payment of some sort.

These people sent us lightbulbs in the mail, with a bill for $100.00.  We have also recieved a "collection notice" in the mail for that amount.  We recieve at least 3 calls a day.  Each call from them that I answer, I tell them, they will not be recieving ANY money from us, and to take us off the call list.  They proceed to say they will call back, and hang up on me.  Complete scam.

Has anyone tried to send the goods back that they send you, and if so, did it work?  I saw a comment on another website that they threatened to contact a collection agency.  We were called by them today for the third time - made the mistake of donating the first time.

I have received the same calls from a different number actually, AHDW 248-292-0857, sometimes 4-5 times in a day. We chose to make a donation and received light bulbs made by blind workers- some were broken when they arrived and quit working after a month or so. These lightbulbs were expensive, and we thought that by donating, the calls would stop, we also requested to be taken off the list and the caller hung up on my husband. I am not sure what their policy is, but I am now receiving the same type of calls from a breast cancer society charity that has also hung up rudely when asked to be taken off the list. In this economy, many people simply cannot afford to be donating and will choose not to do it all if these businesses operate this way. I have requested a report from the BBB on the AHDW and no longer answer the phone when I see their number.

I worked for that organization for about two to three weeks, then quite, because there a scam. There was only one person who worked for them that is truly disabled and needed assistance to even perform the calls. The organization is located at 138 N. Saginaw in Pontiac, Michigan 48342. At one time they were hiring people who were in the work release program for the oakland county jail, and the manager at the time was having the workers sent back to jail and them cashing their checks fraudulently. He was arrested over this, and is no longer working for the company.
