Egging and TP'ing aberkowitz's house...Is that honestly worth your time? At the end of the day, aren't you better just saying "f-off", hanging up the phone, and moving on with your life? You must have more important things to do (e.g. posting on AH, upgrading your system, looking at porn ).
How would you be on the hook to legally pay them?I work in an office which (like many others) uses copiers. We regularly get calls from people we’ve dubbed “Toner Pirates”. Here’s how they operate – they call and act like your best friend as they tell you they are the ones who supply your company with toner, and they just need to verify the model number. An unwitting person goes along, and before they know what hit them, they’re receiving toner at MSRP pricing along with a bill (how these people can operate legally is beyond me).

I prefer clear plastic forks. But in the AH spirit we could dump used audio equipment in the front yard. Rusted would be an important attribute.Egging and TP'ing aberkowitz's house...

If there was a chance that by shedding some light on their shady business practices that some legislation would be introduced to make what they do illegal, then yes, it would be well worth my time.Is that honestly worth your time?

That’s just it - the calls always come from an “unidentified number”. Sure, they can call and harass me because they know there’s no way for me to find out who they are.Can you find out whom they represent and either report the company to BBB and others, or call the company head?
Or, just ship it back, collect, and not pay?
By the way, too bad you didn't keep her phone number and call to see if she would accommodate you

Did someone in the office supply the copy number? Received the package and bill? It must have a billing address. Got them, or a way to get them.That’s just it - the calls always come from an “unidentified number”.

Yeah, I'm under the impression that you are under no obligation to pay for unsolicited items sent in the mail and that you can keep those items, as if it were a sample. I think these companies rely on division of labor within their "customer's" organization to hide the fact that nobody requested the items. Basically, they send the invoice and hope that accounts payable pays it without question. If AP asks around, yes toner was delivered. This scheme should fail if your organization has a proper buyer PO and AP invoice matching system. A lot of mid-sized companies don't have these checks and balances in place to prevent these scams.How would you be on the hook to legally pay them?
This practice has been going on for years, and I have to believe by now there have been enough complaints that if they are indeed operating illegally, they would have been shut down by now.Would anyone here stay at a job where it was fully explained that you call copy machine owners, lie about who you are and then sell them toner without them realizing it?
Not sure I'd call them innocent employees. More like shady people who really need money more than they are concerned about being honest in business. If someone tells me to do something illegal they can take a hike.
