Infomatika Publications ripoff directory scam Champlain New York

Someone from Infomatika contacted a clerk in our organization requesting "updated information" on our company. She told them to send any request for information in writing.

Lo and behold, an invoice for $349.95 shows up with a directory. The directory was returned, and the invoice given to me, the authority on scams in the building.

I sent Infomatika a fax, told them the invoice would not be paid because: 1. she was not authorized 2. even if she was, she did not agree to purchase anything 3. the listing in the directory was TOTALLY wrong. no one could find us if they wanted to buy looking in the Infomatika directory!

I also informed them that if they continued to pursue this invoice, i would be happy to add one more complaint to the already existing 335 on file with the NY BBB.

Well, that didnt stop them! Today, their "collections manager" called and played the recording for myself and the clerk that was involved, and it was funny that the only response from her throughout the recording was "uh-huh", and the uh-huh's all sounded eerily the same. When I told the guy that I have seen many a "cut-and-paste" complaint about his company, he WARNED me about slandering his company. Then reminded me that "we are advertising for you!!" When I replied "yes, but you are advertising incorrect information" he hung up on me.

Needless to say, off go complaints to the Missouri Attorney General, the New York Attorney General, the Canadian BBB, the New York BBB, the FTC, and the FCC.

Dont fall for this one, and don't pay the invoice....
