6077484686

I got the same call today from a Lindsay -  saying the same thing - a newsletter from Progressive Publications that we know nothing about.   Total SCAM

Just received a phone message from Amanda from International Credit Recovery, identifying herself as a manager. She contacted me at work and said our company had a past due invoice with them. I am the accounting manager at my business so that message got my attention. When I tried to call them back @ 607-748-4686 I could not get through. I then looked this company up online and read the numerous complaints describing the same call I just received. I hope she doesn't call back because she will get an ear full. Everyone beware----

6077484686  collection agency for Supervisors Safety Bulletin.  Sends "free" trial copies of newsletter-whatever you do you can't cancel it.  SCAM SCAM SCAM

I got a call yesterday (4/7/14) from Lindsey Bezek saying we had gone to collection for a publication called Quality Managers Alert for $299.  The subscriber is a department that was dissolved in 2012.  When I told her this, she said that she would reduce it to $130 to cancel.  She did fax the infomation, but I will be forwarding this to our Attorney General's Office instead of paying all in thanks to this website!

Same story as everyone else... saddens me to see posts dating back years as that means they've been doing this for YEARS.

Michelle Decker from International Credit Recovery has been relentlessly trying to collect unpaid subscription fees from me and the company I work for.  Same story....she claims that I agreed to payment terms that kicked in after a free trial of hard copy Selling Newsletter of some kind.   I got our company's accounting specialist involved and luckily she found the information on this site as well as the hundreds of complaints that have been filed with the Better Business Bureau about this company.  

I forgot to say, in my original comment above, that she had my birthdate which she attempted to use to substantiate her claims, none of which were true.

Veeeerry interesting!
I see that Amanda was at it back in 2010.
I got a call yesterday from her at this phone number regarding a past due invoice for $299 for the "CFO & CONTROLLER ALERT NEWSLETTER"  that I allegedly ordered in October.  Never received a newsletter or invoice.
What goes around comes around and these guys are still at it 4 years later.
I've read posts where people have actually paid them for fear of a law suit.  Too bad!

Boy....Amanda sure is a busy girl.  We just received the same call for same reason.  Reported it to the BBB, FTC and our states attorney.  She said we gave a "verbal" OK for this.  Never received the publication, nor have we received a bill.  When I asked if they recorded the calls, she said yes.  Then I asked to listen to it and she said they dont keep them.  Right....
Glad I saw this!

Just like everyone else....I received my call on Tuesday 5/20/14 from Lindsey Bezek saying that our account has been put into collections and they need us to overnight a check or pay over the phone with a credit card.  She said that we owed $230.00 but they would wave the 7 months of late charges if we got this taken care of today.  I said I never would've agreed to paying that money for a newsletter and we never received any such letter or invoices.  My thinking was if I owed a company and invoice balance since 11/13/13 why wouldn't they have called about the past due invoice before putting it through to collections.  This made my boss rather supicious she then looked up International Credit Recovery and came across all this stuff...Thankfully.  Lindsey was very rude and hung up on me when I said we will have to look into this before we make any payments and I would contact her tomorrow.  I did not contact her but she did call me today about getting this issue resolved.  I am going to wait until she calls me again and then I tell her our company attorney is going to be contacting them....Hopefully that makes her go away.  I can't even imagine how many people/companys they have scammed money out of because they make it sound so serious.  They should be ashamed of themselves.  I spoke with my mailman and we are going to look through the mail before he leaves every day to see if we get any of these "newsletters" and I am going to write return to sender on them and have him take them back right away.  I also let him know of the scam that is going on.  So sad :(

I just received this call from Michelle Decker from International Credit Recovery with the same song and dance as everyone else. She claimed our GM subscribed for the one month free trial and then never cancelled but I could pay it off for a reduced rate of $130. I also asked to listed to the recording and she claimed that the recording was property of "Progressive" and she didn't have it. I then asked for Progressive's telephone number to call to request the recording and she said I couldn't call them because they were now the legal point of contact. They also claimed that the authorization was his birthday which was not even his birthday. The date of the first issue was supposedly mailed 1/13/2012. She claimed they have tried to reach out to our GM but to no reply. I asked why they wouldn't contact the Accounts payable for the company or the owner or controller and she had no response. I have asked for her to fax over any and all documents pertaining to this which I haven't yet received. Needless to say, I will not be paying it and reporting to BBB and the attorney general. Just wasted a half hour of my time.

Many months ago I received a call from "progressive business publications" at my work.  Got Coerced into a "free complimentary,no strings attached can cancel within 60 days for any reason....." Verified my birth month and day, no credit card required....sounded okay, huh? Wrong!!!!!  I tried to cancel this after 3 days of spam mail. Thought it was canceled, they never shut it off.  Called like three times to cancel, after a while you just get stuck on hold forever, no-one is going to answer the phone, you know it yet you feel compelled to remain on the line just I case this time it really did work and the transfer was going to go through.....nope......bbbbbbbbeeeeppp.  Anyway.  On June 23rd, 2014, I received my first call at work from Chris Bennett a lawyer hired to collect a debt for "progressive business publications" .  I immediately told him I had tried to cancel this three times within the first two weeks of  inception, but it still has not been shut off.  He then asked if I had proof of this and I don't so he says I have to pay I then told him that he had called me at my work and could I have his number so I could call him when I am not at work and have time to deal with this.  He called me the next day at work, I told him again this is my work number, we are going through a extensive remodel, I can not receive personal calls at work.  He called 3 times the first week,  he called repeatedly to my job, I told him please don't ca.ll me at work, my general manger told home to not call me at work.  Chris Bennett told my assistant manager, how I owed money and wouldn't pay.....he also talked to one of my other co-workers I owed him money.  My assistant manager told Chris to stop calling me at work.  I am tired of dealing with this man and his game he and "PBP" are scamming.  I've done some research as has my assistant manager, on the "PBP", the findings are not good.  Look for yourself, google progressive business publications.  Yesterday, 08/08/2014, I was at work, I'm not sure what time it was, but will guesstimate it around 1:00pm., I answered my work phone and lo and behold who was it, yep, Chris Bennett.  I asked him right away for the name of his company...for a while he refused to give it to me, but I was not taking no for an answer finally he told me " International Credit" I asked him to verify his name as Chris Bennett, he did, by now he is irrate!!  He asked me what I needed this information for, I ignored him, asked him for the address of his company, which he refused to give to me, he again asked what I needed this information for, I then informed him I was planning to file a complaint against him for 1) talking about my personal business to others;, telling my co-workers I owe money I refuse to pay, and  2) continually calling me at my work after being asked not to not only by myself, but my General Manager and my Assistant Manager.  Sometimes calling repeatedly throughout the day.   Mr. Bennett yelled at me "good luck with that!, I'm calling your corporate chief financial officer at your corporate office and letting them know you refuse to pay me!!"  Mr Bennett was yelling all of this at me then he slammed the phone down.  
 
Unfortunately I'm not alone, google "international Credit Chris Bennett", you'll see what I mean.  These people need to be stopped!!

THEY ARE STILL AT IT..  SCAMMERS

We just received a invoice for $295 and the owner of the company asked me what this is for. I looked at it and told him I sent back the first invoice and cancelled this service right away. Right then I knew it was a scam. They have not called us yet but I am looking forward to the call. I guess you should never buy anything or agree to something over the phone.

I got a phone call from this number. I told them I would not pay it. The name was Michelle Decker.

I received a call from a Lindsy Bezek threating to collect 299.00 for a subscription i had ordered i asked to listen to the call she stated no one can request a copy and they were destroyed within 90 days. She threated to contact my employer because they would be responsible for this amount.

I got a call from 607-748-4270 requesting $299 for a Environmental Compliance Alert. I did not request anything from this company. I dont even know why they are. I asked my name and my job title and who I worked for. Then they set up an account for me and sent a bill to me. I has already informed them that I am not interested in any alerts and that the hospital will have to approve any type of alerts.

Lindsey, called and said I had given my Date of Birth over the phone and that was a legal binding contract and that I owed 299.00. If i didn't pay it would be a bad debt to the Company I work at. I have not and will not pay.

I got a phone call from this number. I also told them I would not pay it. The name was Michelle Decker. I told them that this was a scam and we would not pay it.

They are still at it!!!  How is it that this is happening?  I'm going to contact the Attorney General's office.

How many companies have they called and harassed but the company did not bother to report it?

They must be stopped
