The BBB has an alert issued on this company and their records show a Cincinnati address with an 876 area code phone. As best as the BBB can determine, the company does not exist and this is a scam. Please don't fall for this scam and give out any of your personal information to someone who calls you 'blind'. They just want your bank account info so they can empty it out for you - not to make a large deposit for you!

we got a call from POTS with a 876 number today. when my husband wouldn't give them any information and he politely said no, the person on the phone swore and him. Don't answer any calls with POTS in the id.
