Tornado Office Systems, Tricor, Tri-CorTornado Office Systems, I was scammed in 2003; they tried the same thing again today. Dardanelle Arkansas

I was first contacted byTriCor in 2003. Today is February 26, 2009 and I received a call from the same, raspy-voiced woman from 2003 who gave me the same spiel from years ago. Or rather-- she tried to. As soon as I recognized the voice, I told her, "Your company is a scam" and she replied, "No it's not", and promptly hung up on me.

Our story was the same as the others listed here. At the end of October 2003, I was contacted by a woman named Jamie Marks. Ms. Marks stated that she worked for an office supply company that was going out of business and that she was given my name and phone number by our company CFO. She astated that she knew our CFO and that she only worked via referrals. She also said she had invited our CFO to visit her if he was ever in the Las Vegas area. The prices that Ms. Marks quoted to me were low, supposedly because she was liquidating her inventory. I was naive and placed an order. Once we received our bill, the invoiced total was $8,249.47! After numerous phone calls (which were never returned), we returned all the items at TriCor's expense and filed complaints with the Nevada BBB, as well as the Attorney General in Kentucky and Nevada. Nothing ever came of the complaints. The company obviously moves around and have been in business a long time. I wish someone could put a stop to this company once and for all.
