877-732-9257

I received a post card to call phone #1-877-732-9257.  It is from IPMS Distribution in Deltona, FL.  It says :
"We have been trying to reach you to deliver your package and we know how your schedules get hectic.  Please call us today at 1-877-732-9257, so as we can deliver your package promply.  Please ask for "Dispatch" between the hours of 9 am to 7 pm Mon thru Fri."

I didn't order anything and I am an at home mom who hasn't received any calls regarding a package, so I am going to take a guess at saying that this is a scam.

I called (877) 732-9257 because I received a note in the mail stating that they have been trying to deliver a package.  The lady at the other end was very nice and confirmed me using my name, address and REF#.

She put me on hold for a few seconds and then told me the "package" was a free 64 oz. Tide Detergent and they would send it out after answering a few questions.....which ended up being about how many times a week I do laundry, how many people are in the household, if we use a water softener, etc.  I entertained her up to this point because I thought it was a pretty ridiculous way to market/scam people but then she tried setting up an appointment to have the Tide delivered.  This is where it got akward because you don't need to setup an appointment for this.  She started throwing times out and the tone of her voice changed because this is clearly the point where most people hang up on her.

It's a scam to get someone out to your house to probably show you some new type of household cleaner.  These bait and switch tactics should be outlawed as they prey on the innocent and utilize pushy salesmen to coerce an old widow into buying their product.  What saddens me more than anything is that I have six years of management and call center experience and the young girl did a great job and could probably do well for herself doing inside sales in a well-respected B2B environment.

IPMS Distribution Services on 1676 Providence Blvd, Deltona, FL, is satan.  Please disregard their mail and do not waste your time calling the number.

I got the same postcard, but it's addressed to my ex husband who has never lived at this address, or even in this state with me - we've been divorced for 8 years.  I'm going to call it a scam too and toss in the trash.

I just got this in the mail too....how do they get our name and address?  Major scam!!

I got this too. I trashed it. Morons

Yep.  Scam.  As if I'm going to give my business to someone who pulls a bait-n-switch like this!  

A yellow card in the mail saying they tried to deliver my package.  They never did any such thing.  THAT'S FRAUD!  They have used the United States Postal Service to communicate that they tried to deliver something, which is untrue.  They lead me to believe that a delivery has been attempted, but the only delivery carrier was the USPS.  In my book, this is a Federal crime!

I called the number to find out who they were.  If I had not asked, they would not have told me.  I was informed about the complimentary box of Tide detergent and I asked, "Was this something I ordered?"  "Oh, no sir, this is a complimentary gift.  I asked if they used UPS or some other carrier to deliver it and he said "No, we're not a carrier."  (notice, he wouldn't say, "No, we have never been to your house.")

It turns out it's a lure to talk about their water treatment crap.

I'm calling the Better Business Bureau and I urge you all to do the same.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. They are horrible people who ask intrusive questions and I just learned that the reason they put "we have been trying to contact you" meant that someone actually dropped by my house when I was not at home to sell me this junk. I insisted on being put on the "do not call list" and warned that if anyone shows up again that I would call the police. I was also asked who the people are in my  household and I wouldn't be surprised if this information was used in an illicit way.

Same thing happened to me. I wish I had looked at this page before I gave them my address and phone number! I am going to file a Better Business Bureau complaint, but I don't know if it will do much good.

I just received the same postcard. It was addressed to my husband. I knew neither of us were expecting a package so I googled IPMS Distribution today. Thanks for the info!! I figured it was a scam.

A&M Distribution

Me too...yellow card. The return address  is NOT "A&M Distribution".

I googled the return address which on my card was a Tampa address. This is what the address and suite # showed to belong to:

Scam.

Throw the card away.

Don't call.

I just received a yellow card from A&M Distributors from Tampa with this phone number: 877-732-9257.  I  googled and found several entries...turns out these people are all over Florida.  They call and schedule a "delivery" ...when they arrive, they try to sell you some water filter system, and are apparently quite difficult to get rid of!  Another entry said the water department wanted to test their water.  DON"T call these people....it's a scam.

Got the yellow card today from A&M Distribution 8710 Hillsborough Ave #172 Tampa, FL 33615
Call  877-732-9257 everything on card same as has been reported by others. I knew I didn't have anything on order, thought scam so checked them out. Confirmed it here thanks everyone.

Yep! Thanks for the input everyone ....... same thing ........ yellow card from Jacksonville FL with info about a package, etc. A & M Distribution. Grateful to those willing to put this up on a website to warn the rest of us!

I just received a card also with the same come-on. I figured it was junk and now I know it is.

thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I received the yellow post card.  I figured it was a scam from the get go - but they keep sending postcards.  I'm going to SCAN the card and send it to my Attorney General in Florida and ask her to do something about this.  Luckily my Husband and I are smart about it.  I worry for the older folks that live around us getting the same thing and not knowing any better.

Its really sad how people can prey on the elderly like this too.

do not call this number, I didn't even waste my time, I found this website when I entered the number and THANK YOU to everyone who posted this helpful info.

They sent me a postcard to have me call them at this number.  Said I was to receive a free bottle of Tide, but first I had to answer some questions about laundry and water softeners.  After I answered and said mine was working fine she said unfortunately I didn't qualify for the free Tide any more.  What a scam!  Waste of my time and cell minutes!  There should be a law against this type of thing!

Crazy...they send a yellow card.  Misleading people!  Then when I questioned why he was calling me, he said "forget it...you don't deserve the package"...yah!  I feel terrible that I didn't get my mystery package that was a SCAM!

I recevied the same yellow card. Well DAH! I'm smart enough to know I didn't order anything. Do they really think people are that stupid? They ought to be jailed.
