They will call you and pretend that you are in their system and have not ordered from them in a while and they are just touching base with you. The guy I spoke with was joe and he was supposedly handling our account.He speaks where you can barely understand him and he kept saying something about our light bulbs. Well when I got off the phone with hime I went to update our records with the new name and number and lo and behold we have never delt with that company. Thank goodness we keep maticulous records on every company we have delt with. A few hours later I got a call from a guy named Tom that worked at Midwest Electric at the UPS loading dock and he was wanting to confirm that I had spoke with his boss earlier and wanted to make sure where the case of light bulbs was being shipped. The ones that I DID NOT ORDER. I canceled it at that point and luckily went no further than that hopefully. In the past other companies have done that to other employees in other departments and you will wind up paying double for the merchandise.  SO BEWARE JUST SAY NO AND HANG UP!

Yeah this guy called me. It said MIDWEST or MIDWAY ELECTRIC on the caller ID. He wanted to speak to the "guy running the shop" "ole' what's his name" I say, "Bob?" He says "yeah, yeah, Bob" in a kinda unbelievable way. I should've made up a name so it would make him a liar right off the bat, companies keep records of who purchases from them, if they don't know who it was, thier probably scamming you. He asked we were still at the same address, which we aren't, and I gave him our new address like a dummy. In my defense, although it's not much of one, he had the old address correct. He told me he was going to send me a new catalog, and to throw my old cataloges out cause they weren't right anymore. He also said he was going to send me a special gift with the catalogue. He asked if I was still using the 8' flourescent bulbs, the 4' flourescent bulbs, the 4' skinnies, and the 75watt tough coats. This was to try and make me believe we ordered those from him before. Then he said "what PO do you want to use withe the 75 watt tough coats?"  and I said "I never ordered any 75 watt tough coats, and don't think anyone else did either", then he hung up on me. BEWARE this guy is a light bulb scammer. those are the worst.

They also called here this morning asking to speak with me. He said his name was Lee from Midway Lighting and that he had an updated number for me: 855-333-1198 (which if Googled, takes you to the webpage for Midway Lighting). He belted off some lights that we "used" and asked if we were still using the same stuff. Then he told me he had done some jobs for Bass Pro Shops and Cabella's and even tried to send me some buck knife as an extra gift with the catalog he was sending. Then, he told me that he was going to send me some light bulbs (not free) and acted like I was just going to say "SURE!" Then, I asked him who he was again and if we had done business with them before. No we haven't. I told him that I was not interested in the lights but would be glad to get a card and catalog to keep him in mind in the future. He then tried to get me to take some kind of cleaning solution and when I said no to that, he hung up on me!

Same story. Guy named Lee called me by first name with a b.s. history of past business with them. After talking my ear off for ten minutes I told him that I wasn't authorized to make purchases and he called me a voulger name as he hung up.

I get calls from these a**holes all the time. I've reported them to the police several times. It is a scam, pure and simple. Beware they have multiple numbers. The last time the guy called he asked if I could spell my last name for him and I said "B-U-L-L-S-H.... you get the picture. He hung up.

This guy just called, tried to slip in the 'I will just send out some cleaner with the catalog' line, I stopped him and send no thanks, we dont need any cleaner...he hung up.

Dave was the guy who called me.  Same story as the rest; past business, lamps, blah, blah, blah.  He asked me for my HOME address, so he could send me a gift for doing business with him.  I said yeah right, then he hung up!  Idiots, like I would give him that!

The callers name is "Big Dave" and he spouted off as he was my regular bulb salesman. I do buy a large amount of linear and CFL's along with ballasts and before I knew it wham a box of CFL's headed my way. My receiving dock will be on the lookout for the box and refuse delivery. They use this as a means to get into your AP system and if you're not careful bogus invoices will be paid, since all building requisitions come through me I will catch this one, anyone that has a clerk or phone operator needs to be made aware of Midway Lighting and refuse the call.

I got a call today from "Jake" with "Midway Supply."  I was fairly sure that he wasn't actually someone we work with, because he was being a belligerent ass.  If you're going to scam someone, at least TRY to be personable!  Also, I'm fairly sure that anyone we already do business with wouldn't keep insisting I transfer him to the person rather than take a message.  Leaving a message when someone is busy is part of doing business, yo.  He reluctantly left me this number.  Ass.
