Another b2b telemarket scam

In the old days, Hanson Publications would call and ask to update our 800 directory listings or confirm our shipping address. Of course, if you confirmed the shipping address, you are also accepting the directory, which you will be billed for. They got shut down a year ago.

Today I got a new variation. A accented man called from "Comutel" confirming cancellation of our order of the B2B directories from our President. "Because I don't have a PO, let me get your okay to send you confirmation of cancellation along with your copy." When I protested, he said that the cancellation was received after their printing date. I stonewalled, and he will try to call the president, I guess. Beware!
