Warning issued
A warning has been issued by the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce regarding several companies now operating in Kosciusko and surrounding counties. They are selling so called, “Safety equipment” and related products. Representatives of these companies are usually from out of state and are reportedly in the area to open a branch operation. They prey on individuals as well as small and large business organizations. There are several promotion angles used but most include very high pressure sales methods and scare tactics. The State Fire Marshal has been in contact with the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce because of his concern over some of the so called fire safety items people have been frightened iifto buying. A really cruel aspect of the scam «is the recruiting of sales personnel in depressed areas where people are nearly desperate for jobs. The promise of continuing income, in most cases, turns out to be only a costly disappointment. This reporter became suspicious when a phone number, on a blank piece of paper, was left at a North Webster store by two men. The verbal instructions were. “If you hear of anyone who wants a job have them call this number between 11 and 3 p.m." This reporter called (a Columbia City number) and was given a fast talking sales pitch about an old and reliable company that. was’ opening a branch in northern Indiana. It took several re phrased questions before the annoyed voice on the other end of the line gave the name of the company or any information about its type of business, etc It was then suggested that it was too hard to properly answer questions over the phone and the whole story could be seen in a 15 minute film that would be shown on a certain day. When this reporter declined to give more information about herself, or to view the film on the scheduled day. and was trying to thank the man for his time, he abruptly slammed down the telephone receiver. At that point the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce was called. As soon as the name of the company was mentioned the response was. “Oh no. I hope you didn’t give them any money.” There are many reputable local business firms that handle safety equipment and supplies Always be cautious of any over the telephone or door to door sales pitch It’s better to be safe than sorry.

If ever in doubt call the Chamber of Commerce. A reputable sales person or representative won’t mind such a call and would probably encourage it. Beware of anyone who Says they represent OSH A, or any part of the government, or a job where you are pressured into buying a specific kit or a required amount of merchandise before you can start work. If you are ever approached byanyone you consider suspicious call the Chamber of Commerce or local authorities at once. -NWBook review for CRC Members Os the Columbian Reading Circle of Milford met in the home of Linda Baumgartner on Monday with 13 numbers and two guests.
