Has anyone else has run into these scumbags? Sometime last
winter I received a call along the lines of "We'd like to
send you some materials to review". Well, they sent some
"Internet Law encyclopedia" along with an invoice for ~$700.
Of course, there was no cost mentioned in the sales call-
for all I knew they were going to send me a brochure about
their product. I can say with 100% certainty that I would
never have authorized them to send me something like this
had they mentioned the cost without much further discussion
as to what I was receiving. This is just a general heads-up
to a sleazy business practice for a sleazy company that is
now attempting to extort money.

File a complaint with the BBB of Vancouver, BC. They are known to the
BBB. Then, let their collection goons waste their time and their money,
and tell them that if they want to see it back they have to send you a
prepaid box.
