I got the phone call today. This guy wanted 1000 resin figures at 9.95, never questioned the price....
Thanks for your heads up, it really helped alert me. The other night a con artist on a CNN show said they way he knew he had a mark was he would tell the person something totally outrageous. If the person answered "Absolutely" he knew he had them. I quoted the guy 9.95 for a 7.50 item and the guy never asked for a discount for quantity.

The IP lady agreed with me that it was a scam and we hung up.
Thanks

Gave me three creditcards to use...... and then came the shipping request anfter I told them they were on order (not) Rev, Something or other in Ghana

Tried to report the fraud to the credit card company.....what a nightmare..... no wonder they lose so much money to this scam......

I have received 3 more of these calls since I posted the original warning. I have been trying to figure out a way to make sure that I when I refuse the IP call that I am not depriving a truly hearing-impaired person of this valuable service.

Now the first thing I do is ask the operator to ask the caller where this call is originating from. If it's a local person I plan on asking them to come to the store. Not one of these calls is from a local person so once they tell me where they are calling from - the last one was from Detroit and I'm in California - I ask the operator to hang up.
