Scam? I dunno...

[sawin]

Rec'd the following email today. Nothing to "click" on to see products. Not even the co.'s name.

Don't think I have ever ordered from them, but I am a "online customer". Only way to order is to call. So whatcha think?

If you have never heard of them, and never bought from them, I wouldn't trust it.

Besides, those prices are not anything screaming "good deal".

 

[Zeke]

They do have a website and the number is the same. The address shows a country road with not much on it in Google maps. Hey, it's an 800 number, call it.

The 573 number is registered to Alan T. Lynn. Some of it adds up.

Here's a mirror of that email on their site:

I doubt it's a scam. Archive.org show snapshots all the way to 2002.

Maybe they have unknowingly (or knowingly) sent you that email via a less scrupulous spammer.

 

[socket_wrench]

if you call, do it from a number other than your personal one.

 

[eljefino]

Might want to get a disposable one time use credit card number from your bank.

 

[sawin]

I wasn't planning on ordering. Some of you are so good at finding frauds, that I figured perhaps someone else could benefit from your investigations.

 

[carterbeauford]

I delete and block everything like that out of principle. By considering ordering from them you are only letting the spammers win.

ATL is a legit company that advertises all over east & central MO. While not screaming deals like the conglomerates offer if there is something you are interested in call them and make a deal.
