607-748-4686 / 6077484686

The same thing happened to our Non-profit organization. We were told that we ordered a subscription in April, and that because they had a birthdate, it was legally binding. We have since consulted with an attorney who says that is in no way true. As soon as I mentioned to "Amanda" that we had spoken to an attorney about the matter, she panicked and immediately wanted out of the conversation. Do not be fooled by this scam, it is so disheartening that some souless person would try to take advantage of a non-profit! UGH!

I received a call stating that we ordered Selling advantage and we did not, I was told that I personally was placed in collection, When I shared with her that I never ordered this, this person stated that she was going to call back and ask for GM, I shared that she did not need to call back I would transfer her and she hung up. This is a scam. I also shared that I was filing a BBB complaint.

Received voice mail message call from "Tiffany Jones" on my business line from this same ICR company. Return call number was 607-748-4686. Number on my caller ID was 607-748-6016. Returned call since voice mail message sounded legitimate. Identical tactics to those listed in other posts here. Claimed unpaid invoice for $94 had to be paid or her company would tarnish my credit rating. I told her I would take my chances.

Received the same allegations as detailed in the other posts regarding ICR (had my birthdate as evidence that I confirmed the subscription, for example.) They were highly rude, interrupted often, would not disclose anything about the vendor who has supposedly been sending us invoices all along, and claimed that the vendor had fulfilled their obligation by sending the invoices to the correct address. I stated that I have not received the publication, nor the invoice, and would have cancelled any such subscription. We keep meticulous records of offer cancellations (because of the scams), and there was nothing in my file, to which she retorted that "how could I have cancelled if I had nothing in my file?" How's that for turning on you?!?!? I am attempting to get enough info to turn the company in to the Attny. General.

Our company has been reciving those calls from "the Selling Advantage" for that stupid news letter for ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW!!. How can we stop them? no matter what we tell them for 2 years that NONE of our employees have signed up for this news letter!

Got a message today saying that they were a collection agency and that my company owed $94.00 and they were going to give me a chance to pay before action was taken. I returned their call, but received a message. I then googled them, found this information and called them again letting them know that I will not pay any debt over the phone.

A woman called by the name of Cathy, she said she was the manger of a company called International Credit Recovery (ICR). She claimed that our Company was delinquent on a payment from a company called Progressive Business Publications. She informed me that my name was on the invoice and if we did not pay, our company would be put into collections. I explained that Progressive Business Publications did contact me about a free trial that they were running, and I did agree to a free trial. I further explained that we never received the magazine and then began receiving invoices. After receiving the first invoice, I personally called Progressive Business Publications and explained to them that we did receive anything and we did not agree to the terms and conditions of their invoice. I asked Cathy for her address so I could have my attorney send them a letter and she failed to supply me with ICR’s address. I believe this is a bogus company that works directly for Progressive Business Publications. They are trying to charge money for a product that they do not supply. I recommend not paying any money to this company.

same thing here regarding a free trial environmental newsletter over a year ago. which i a few letters but to this date have never received any request to subscribe or decline subscription from progressive business publications.being a federal manager i can't obligate funds for subscriptions (or any service) without a proper bill and invoice invovled - of which i never considered and never happened.i explained this to "Tiffany" and have since passed all info, including this web link to our investigators as a possible scam for other federal managers to become aware of.

I received a call from Lori Appleton today saying that our business was just hours away from being put into collections. She said that a co-worker of mine had ordered the Supervisor's Legal Update and had neglected to pay. She said that they figured it was a mistake and that before they add any additional fees to our bill, she was going to give us a chance to pay off the $255.60 that we owed. I googled the telephone number and came up with this site! We have tried calling back and haven't heard back from them. I also looked up the Supervisor's Legal Update, and the web site says that the cost for one year's subscription is $97. So, since July we have been charged over double the price! Anyway, keep your eyes and ears open for these kind of scams.

Same experience. Same phone number. International Credit Recovery calling on behalf of Progressive Business Publications for a sales mgmt. newsletter. $240. The woman's name was Amanda. She was very nasty and harassing to one of our VPs, who she says ordered the newsletter. I called PBP directly. The woman there wouldn't budge and indicated they would take us to court. Used the VP's birthday as proof. I told her we had no intention of paying and left it at that.
