« Buy WorldChanging | Main | Net neutrality at EFF-Austin » You cruise, you lose!Marsha and I have thought occasionally about taking a cruise, and when some guy called with a Good Deal, we were kind of interested. However when I heard we'd have to go somewhere and listen to a spiel, I said no dice. Marsha called and left word that we wouldn't make it, after which "Jack Cooper" from the company, supposedly called "Great Escapes," started calling and insisting on rescheduling. I finally told him we weren't going to do it, and hung up. He called back and said we'd got disconnected, and I said no, I hung up. That was yesterday. Today he called again trying to reschedule, and again I said no and hung up. He called back and told me that I had an obligation to reschedule, and when I refused again, he said he was going to sue me. I hung up again, of course, and when he called back, I didn't answer... so he left a message. Mp3 of the message. Sounds pretty aggressive, eh? And do you think his name's really Jack Cooper? Glad we skipped that cruise... guess I'll sit back and wait for the subpoena. jon posted this at 6:01 PM |

Wow, that is absolutely nuts. I'd actually look forward to a day in court with him. Those kinds of fear and intimidation tactics have got to be illegal, right? (I'm no expert, but how could they not be?) The sad thing is, I wonder how often those tactics are successful.
