Called last Friday claiming to have an exclusive offer on local golf course advertising. $395 to be printed on every scorecard passed out for the season. When he said course would use 20,000 cards in a season, he blew his cover as the course maybe has 3-4 thousands rounds at best. Steer clear of these jerks.

This is a major scam

they just called me they were asking 395 dollars to put my business in a golf course pamphlet  wow  i will advertise myself thank you

This company called asking about my printer, hung up on me when I asked what company they were with.  When I dialed the number back the man acted like I had the wrong number.  All I did was call back the number on my caller ID.

Cameron called from Mountain Vista Golf Course and wanted to print our business on golf course score cards.   720-799-2400

Got a call from this company. They were very pleasant on the phone. I was unable to afford the cost but it was very reasonable.

Received a vmail, he (Id'd himself as Cameron) asked me to call him back. No mention of what call regarded. ID indicated that the phone number belonged to 'BENCHMARK.'

Somebody named Jay called about "an opportunity for golf course advertising". I cannot think of a worse way to advertise a business that primarily serves women. It isn't an "opportunity" for me, it is an "opportunity" for him to sell a scam to suckers. I blocked the number immediately.

January 4, 2018 (720-799-2400) came up on my caller ID as BENCHCRAFT.  When I returned the call, the person answering the phone said:  Where are you calling from?  When I mentioned my city and state I was transferred to someone else.  I think the call has something to do with "golf course" advertising.

BEWARE! These guys are Scamming businesses to “advertise” on golf course “score cards”. When I asked who he was working with at the local course he was claiming to be working with, he had no idea. He appeared to google it and couldn’t even pronounce the local GM or golf pro’s name... He got really nervous and hung up right away.  DO NOT GIVE THESE SCAMMERS YOUR MONEY!!

Golf scorecards here. Golf course clients will not shop at my store. Waste of time, blocked.

I’ve gotten calls from Benchcraft before using different numbers. The guy whose name isn’t important said he was from Landing Country Club. It’s one of many golf courses in my town. He said he wanted me to advertise on score cards.

wanted to charge about $350.00 for local advertising  when an ad in the paper cost about 1/10th that.

Aaron said he was calling from the local high school football team and cheerleaders organization.
