Sometimes a business is so bad, you need to tell other people, just so that they might avoid the annoyance you have experienced.
Septic tanks are something no one wants to have a problem with. A company that used to be called Krane Products and is now FBK Products capitalizes on that fact by selling a product called Septic Helper. Whether it works or not isn’t really in question (there’s really no way to tell, which certainly makes it an easier product to sell).
However, if you ever make the mistake of purchasing anything from this company, they will hound you forever over the phone with hard-sell telemarketing tactics.
I found the invoice in the old Krane box in the basement. We purchased Septic Helper on January 5, 1998. I think we did another order of a “new improved” version in 2000.
Yes, that means this company has been hounding us for TEN YEARS!
We have been asked to be removed from their call list for almost ALL of that time. Clearly we haven’t been removed, since they called this morning yet again. I regaled the telemarketer with a lot of colorful expletives, which didn’t phase him. This makes me think he hears that type of commentary a lot.
We are on every do not call list there is. Today, after my conversation with FBK I went to my computer and filed a complaint with the:
- National Do Not Call Registry
- Florida Do Not Call Registry
- Idaho Do Not Call Registry
- Southeast Florida Better Business Bureau
I discovered that FBK has a company rating of F and 138 Complaints filed against them.
Well, now it’s 139.
Needless to say, they aren’t a member of the BBB. If you have been unlucky enough to have dealings with this company, and they won’t stop harassing you, I encourage you to do the same thing.
