Got the same scam from local number 810-202-1361. USSP with a returned package...
ALISON-6418, Were you more offended they made a stupid joke about Trump, or the fact they were trying to scam you? Just curious...
Every so often we get a call from a local number that says IDA (a city in MI). They say they are either from US Shipping, as they did yesterday, or they say USSP Shipping. Yesterday, they said they had a package for our owner, who is in his 90s and doesn't work at this facility. They usually just say they have a package being held for our company.
One time my coworker actually stayed on hold, waiting for a "manager" to give more info on this mysterious package they were holding. The scammer kept saying "thank you so much for holding", until my coworker finally hung up. Didn't get the Trump joke though, too bad.
I got a call from 817-203-0335...I let it ring because I didn't recognize the number...they left no voice message so I googled the number....I also read all the comments about this scam.....now I will add this number to the Block List!
Just called from 307-298-2317 Already had my info just wanted to verify it and send a promotional package for a thank you for being a customer Said it was from a safety supplies company. Also said they were a sister company from UPS. SCAM
Got a call from them from 206-401-1016. A woman called originally and eventually transferred me to a man after I repeated asked for the PO used to place the order they were trying to send. The man gave me the same "bad hair day joke" and said that they had a "thank you" package they were sending to their friends in the area who have done so much business with them. I asked who they normally deal with in my company and he said he was the new rep for our area, he just took over. I told him if he didn't tell me what was in the package and who ordered it I was hanging up. He became extremely flustered and said he would email me. I hung up. :)
I just got the same call from her.. Same insult to our President, just as I was reading your post. Told her I was reading about them online and to not call us back again.
Another # for them. 814-377-0320
I have heard the whole speech from them before. I usually just wait until they transfer me and then hang up or do it immediately.
I would also like to know what the point of this scam is? The same man has called me several times with the USSP shipping line. He's rude af and hangs up on me before i can even ask for details of the package.
Phone ID listed as Sand Springs, OK 918-215-5430. Similar story to other posters. I had prior warning from our CSR that the call was a little odd, so I was on guard. The lady on the phone said they had a package for us that was misdelivered. They gave a first name of a person in our company. I asked again what their company name was and was told "USSP Shipping". I ask for their company website addressed, but she misdirected by saying she would transfer me to a VP who knew all about our package. Why would a VP be taking calls about a missing package? I hung up when she tried to transfer me to the "VP".
Just got a call from them for our CEO who hasn't worked from this building in 5 years. Couldn't tell what they were trying to get at but she finally hung up when I challenged her about what item they were shipping and what carrier. Scam but not sure what the point is. I thought they would have asked for a credit card or something.
Just received a call this morning stating a shipment was returned as "undeliverable" which caused concern because we do quite a bit of LTL & small package shipping at our business. I asked the lady on the phone if this was an inbound LTL shipment and she transferred me to another woman who gave the same "my day is going better than Trump's hair" routine and then find out they're trying to send us some kind of Nascar brochure?? Not sure if this is a scam or just random marketing but it was definitely a waste of time lol. Call came from (630) 332-9843
Did you end up changing your number? same thing happened to me
Just called here - USSP calling - a damage package returned..yada yada yada - Calling from 740-218-1390
Got the same call here in West Virginia 304-244-4338. Wanted to speak with the person that handles orders and shipping. Said they had a shipment that tried to be delivered but it must have been after hours of our business. They just wanted to verify the contents with the one that ordered. I told him we had not ordered anything. He said "Yes, you did". I said give me the name of the company and the person here that ordered it. He said he would have to get that information and call me back. Hung up on me and haven't heard from him since. Tried to call the number back and it is out of service........imagine that!!! lol
