You have just received that wonderful little yellow card that was waiting in your mailbox today and you are so curious to know what is it about. Well you are so lucky because it’s 8:35 pm now and it’s a Friday…

Well if you picked up something similar from your mailbox today. You should be a little nervous, Yes You are!!!. Please think twice before confusing this mail with any other important information that you may just have been waiting for.

This mail is a 100% SCAM, The YELLOW card has you full name and your new address just like you credit card. It’s a scamming magazine and these people are trying to get your Visa, Master Card, or any other Bank Card info. Once they get it, they will hit your credit so badly, charging you for magazine that you may never receive.

They are using this web site as a cover http://familyreadingclub.com/index.php and changing names and phone number frequently, to avoid detection. names like FRC, CFC, A.C.I, or other names, and surely people like Michelle Barbaa, Debbie Peti, or Amanda Walters have never been in this world. So don’t expect any “GOOD NEWS” from them.

Before you made the call beware that the numbers they use are not toll free even if they looks like they are. These guys talk professionally and once they get nothing from you they change tones, their target are most likely people who have moved recently. Even as a scamer they are so lazy that they can’t do business at early morning, so you have to wait until 10am. They wish receiving calls nights and weekends but that will looks more suspicious, Ahah! So let keep things professional 8:30pm looks perfect. All right man! Always listen to your mom “Never talk to stranger”.

N.B: If you receive a similar card, immediately report it to your local Postmaster.

My HP Customer Service Nightmare

April 7, 2008 · Filed Under Lifestyle · 2 Comments 

This is the second time that I had to call HP customer service, It’s really terrible, Yes they may have some nice and good looking products, but their customer and technical services are really the worst that I have ever had to deal with :(

Last time when I called them about a technical problem on my new laptop, I spent about 10 minutes listening to their boring operator machine listing me all the services of the world before asking me to press 82154887566511!.. :x . All right, that was only a machine, now that I heard a living human been, it was even worst. It took about another 10 to 15 min to get my information before the lady asked me the stupid question that I was hoping for since the beginning of our conversation, “How can I help you today?. Sir!” It took me about five minutes more to clarify my problem, and then she directs me to the technical service, of course she had to put me on hold, I agreed to enjoy this meaningless music, but the operating machine already missed me and came up with a new list of products, at that time, I putted my phone on speaker because I new that the list will be very long.

Finally and after 30 min of wasted time I got in touch with the technical support. What surprise me the most at that point is that I found my self answering the same questions again, I got made I said that I’m having a case number, why don’t you just take a look at it and help me instead of wasting my time. He said that is the requirement, I said: “ok let’s go for it”, well another 10 min is gone and I’m not yet talking about my problem, finally when we got to the point of talking about the problem he simply suggested that I took the laptop to the store and let them change it for me, believe me I was shocked and happy at the same time, I was shocked because I have to drive from Virginia to Maryland since I made my purchase their, and I was happy because I don’t have to deal with this nightmare again.

Lately I was trying to check, online, the status of the rebate that I got for my new HP laptop, and don’t ask me why I got the same brand, I didn’t got any feedback and I had to call them again, I had enough, I said let’s be very optimistic, I opened the window, got a cup of water and dialed the nightmare’s number. This time I’m very familiar with the list I was trying to impress the machine by reciting the list my self. Well I did great, it was more like a game, I got in touch with a guy, he tried to be nice, I said that I need to check the status of my rebate, He said: ”what kind of laptop do you want to purchase Sir?”

I tried to calm my self down, I said that I already own one and I’m calling to check the status of my rebate, he apologized and directed me the an other service, the operating machine was very nice too she knew that I was upset so she skipped the list and told me that some one will be with me shortly, 10 min of witting my call ended up with a message telling me that they are experiencing a problem at the moment and that I have to call later. Please advise me! Should I call them again or just wait, or what kind of medication should I take before dialing the number again?

Conclusion: if you are in rehab or in an anger management program, try HP Customer Service for free. Good luck!
