Just picked up two vm messages that were left just minutes apart. The first was from "Michael Herndon" at 702-330-8868 who claimed that he was a union liaison for the State of Illinois and that he was looking for quality attorneys to whom he could refer their "rank and file union members." Herndon wanted me to return his call at 877-970-1010. The second call was from "Joshua Kayner" at 702-330-5153 who claimed that he, too, was a union liaison for the State of Illinois and was looking for attorneys in my area to whom he could refer "rank and file union members" who needed criminal defense attorneys. I didn't recognize the area code so I googled it. When I saw it was a Las Vegas area number I got suspicious and found this site.  I will not be calling them back.

Got the same basic call  - Ohio Union liaison looking for therapist in Cincinnati to refer union employees to - he left me a voice mail.  The caller used the name Ray Morris from a phone number 702-330-4704.  Asked me to return a call to 877-970-1010. I'm not return this call based on the feedback others have left here.

I got a call from Sam Kaine saying he was a union member for the state of CA looking for a therapist to send his rank and file union members too. Also suspicious the number was from Las Vegas.

Very persistent telemarketer left multiple messages on my phone, not around when I called back. Number used 702-997-6607 but wanted me to return the call at 877-970-1010 x746. She gave the phone to a high pressure salesman who got very huffy when I explained that most phone calls soliciting advertising are scams. First acted like it would be a free service to union members and miliary, then claimed that it cost only $10 a month, but then added it had to be $240 for two years. Said I had been recommended by a union member. Terrible website. Doesn't even backlink to their home page.

Got a call from Catherine (Katherine) Webb. I spelled it both ways in case anyone tries to do a search. Number was 702-330-5153. She totally sounded like she was reading a prompt and just filling in the appropriate info (ie., looking for a quality therapist). She found my info online and that's what they probably do with others.

I got a call from "Jill Cosgrove," who claimed to be the "Union Liaison for the State of California," and her phone number was 702-330-4463. She said that she wanted to "direct and refer all rank and file union members as well as military personnel" to me (i'm an attorney) because I "came highly recommended." Thank you all for posting to this website. Obviously, "Jill Cosgrove" has no clue who she's messing with.

I got the same call and he said he is from NY- seems he gets around  (to all states). I'm a NY'er so I'm naturally a bit suspicios of something that sounds too easy!

I received a phone call from their people except it was 702 303-3936.  This turned out to be a premium service as they wanted $525 from me plus the price of helping me to construct the ad and a host monthly fee.  They were a little slicker as there was no sounds of a call center in the background.  Mr. Foster also wanted me to restrict myself to the pages he wanted me to see.  I'm a little insulted as these people have gone to no real effort to make a decent web site.  They could have put more businesses on it as none will complain if you list their business on your website.  You just have to look at the website to see how flimsy it is.

psychotherapist in CO.  Ted Rice called (from Vegas) and explained the 365$ for two years to be listed.  

I told him it sounded good and I'd like to speak with the existing advertisers to see how it's working for them.

He said "It doesn't work that way, we'll find somebody else to fill your spot."   Personally I think it's OK for me to call and see how their service works for advertisers and I was frankly surprised that he told me "it doesn't work that way."

high pressure sales, and not very good at it.

So glad I found all of you. I just got a call from a similar Nevada number-702 330-4544-- a man claiming to be a Union Liaison with the State of California looking for "quality marriage and family therapists." First of all, calling from a call center and speaking loudly about seeking therapy isn't really how I'm used to receiving inquiries... the callback number is 877-970-1010 ext. 747.

He found me through my Psychology Today profile (that's how the call came in).

For everyone, else; other than Tim Patrick. I forgot to mention that a few weeks later, I was fortunate enough to have my bank (Chase) warn me of several overseas purchases that they declined where someone used my credit card. I believe that is what this scam is all about.

Hi Tim. I will assume that you're the same Tim Patrick who claimed to be the tech guy who sold me on advertising on UnionInfoCenter.net through your company, Imagewrite Corp. I paid $365 for a 2 year contract. If you are that same Tim Patrick who worked in cohoots with Kay Barrett, you got me, for now. God Save You.  If you are not that Tim Patrick, then you truly are an insensitive prick. In that case, God Save You also. FYI, it is now only a matter of time when Imagewrite Corp. and it's scammers will get your comeuppance.

Also got a call from "Mike Ford" as a rep for the Colorado union looking for referrals for military union members. Didn't call him back as I had a weird feeling listening to his voicemail. Also the V.A. wouldOre likely be in charge of this. Looks like he might have changed the name but sounds exactly the same as what other people have listed. Just as a heads up if anyone gets a call from him. Here is the number I had: 720-330-3936. Also said I was "referred" to him but he clearly got my name from an online directory as I got an email confirmation that said so. Obviously some kind of scam. Stay away!

I received a call from the same company 2 months ago.  Im sorry everyone but i did sign on for $365.00 for my listing plus they also gave me a banner on the main county page at no cost.   I have been up on the site for almost 4 weeks (it took almost 4 weeks for them to complete my ad) I have obtained 2 new customers that idenified themselves from unions and requested their discount as was offerred in my ad.   So far so good for me.

I had a phone call from Scott stating that he was the Liason for the state of Minnesota
And he was looking for a licensed realtor to assist Union members in the area.

I got a another call from this crazy lady with well I just spoke to a Manager and we can get you a deal for $199.00 for 3 years.   I explained to her that I knew she was trying to scam me and that there are dozens of complaints against her company.  She stated, "Well even Walmart has complaints against them".  I then said to her that I would probably leave me alone if I was her and that I knew everything she said was a bunch of BS.  She got angry and stated, "Well we are just not for you and hung the phone up".  LOL I don't know how these people look themselves in the mirror after lying and trying to decieve innocent people.  I would rather work for the circus then to try to scam someone out of their money for a living. FYI: The name used by this individual "Alisha Smith" - phone # 702.823.5468.

The caller claimed to work for the Union and that she was looking for Counselors to represent over 500 Union Workers from the Military.  She stated that I was recommended by one of my client's who was also in the military.  I could not take her call so I asked for a number to reach her later.  When I called back she start talking about me paying money for a sponsorship ($365.00).  She also kept talking about personal things such as my name and race.  Her name ironically sound like mine and she claim we were the same race (who cares) after viewing a pictures of me my website.  This lady completely forgot she was speaking to someone who studied human behavior.  She also screwed up when she stated that one of my client's recommended me to her.  I am able to track how my client's are referred so I knew this was a bunch of crap.  Please do not give these people your money.  They cannot get you referrals.  The Unions have no ideal they are lying and misrepresenting them.   FYI: The name used by this individual Alisha Smith - phones # 702.823.5468  and 866.472.9716.

Guy did the same thing to me yesterday. We are a real estate company. Told me it wasn't a sales call, but I could hear in the background the usual sales hub noise of people on phones. He had me clicking links on a badly made website, but when I clicked on a different button from where he was directing me, he would get upset with me, espcially when the link didn't work and made up some excuse why it wasnt working or why it went somewhere else. After spending a few minutes clicking and listening to his pitch, I asked exactly what is it they are needing from us? He got rude and told me I was condensending and wouldn't recommend us. Later I saw online that they were charging $365 for a 3 year subscription. Gee, that is a sales call. Legit referrals don't do that, they get a fee when you help a real client find a home and they close.

I got a call from a Liz Scott who said the company so quickly I could not make it out, but said she was a liason, mentioned union members in California and wanted to refer union members to my mediation services.  The caller ID noted Imagewrite... and the call was not from California. I won't be calling back.

our caller called from 702-534-0978....same B.S.   He was rude and said we were idiots for not speaking to him further.

We received a call from 702-534-0978 (to our law firm).  When the caller was told the attorney could not take his call, the caller said, "What?  Is he an idiot?" and hung up.

Looks like he's moved on to Delaware.  I'm a solo practice, so I'm pretty sure that none of my employees, i.e. me, ever referred me to him.

I recently received a call from Kurt Bradley who stated he was looking for quality counselors and that a union member had referred me to him.  I live in Ohio.  He stated he was a union liaison for the state.  Thanks to those of you who figured out who this is...saved me the time.

I received a phone call from "Kristine" with Union Info Center looking for psychotherapists to be a referral for union members and military. I thought it was a great idea at the time considering I have been wanting to help the military and their families since I have started my private practice though wanted to avoid billing TRICARE insurance. I signed up then did a little research and found this site. Fortunately, I was able to get out of the deal and get my money back. I also talked to a Tim Patrick.

I received a call from Krt Bradley today claiming to be the Union rep for the State of North Carolina..never said what union! I googled and this is what I found.  I had already left a message for him and he called me back immediately.  I didn't pick up!

CID comes up as Imagewrite Corp, phone: 702 / 823-5271. VM number left by Al was 866 / 472-9716 x0, and call back number after speaking with Al (and Kim Patrick of website support) for Al was 866 / 472-9716 x713. Initially got a VM looking for acupuncturists to be a service provider for union members and military in California. On call back, I was directed to the website UnionInfoCenter.org, with links to California, to Los Angeles County, to the area nearest my location - West Los Angeles. Four acupuncturists were listed for West L.A., and one was an associate in my office! Was quoted $365 for 2 years to include the webdesign. There were no other fees. Was of no concern to Al or Kim that my colleague and I at the same location would both be listed on the site. I left messages for my associate and the other 3 acupuncturists listed. Two so far have returned calls. One provider was with them nearly 2 years and the site was newly-launched. The other practitioner was with them 3 months. Both said not a single patient has come through the site. The practitioner of nearly 2 years called around to various firemen and teachers through the unions and learned that NO ONE even knew of the site's existence! Scam? Maybe. Doubtful you will benefit from the organization. Better to contact unions directly and see about getting on their referral list.

Got several phone calls from "Sam Kirby" represents all of the Unions in Nevada (yeah right)..I told him we were already Pre Paid legal for more than one union and which union exactly was he representing..again he said all of them. I asked what kind of advertising was he selling, was it in publication form or another form of media..I was immediately hung up on..legit advertising companies don't hang up on potential clients. I would know, my family owns a publishing company! This guy smells like a rat!

I got a vm very atractive business offer looking to refer me clients from the state of Florida they also called from the 702 area code and left me a vm with a (866) 472-9716 extension 728 number

We also got a call from this number by a Sam Kirby looking for tax professionals to do taxes for union members.  When we called the number back it said it was no longer in service.  Once we tried the number multiple times we looked up the company on google and found these posts.

Got a call from Ted Rice telling me he was interested in giving my name to union members in the NY/CT area for divorce mediation.  Thanks for all the information everyone has provided.
